Despite what the weather summary above may say, it's not raining, and it hasn't actually rained for several days. It's recording melted snow in the rain gauge. It had to happen, we've had the snow that has bypassed us for the past week. Not a lot though, and already melting. Yesterday morning there were light flurries, but nothing settling, and nothing that stopped normal farm work (or stopped the stone facers or plasterers). But about milking time the size and number of the snow flakes suddenly changed and by it was dark the yard was about 3 inches deep in snow. Robert and Chris at last got to try out their sledges down the Barn Field - we're not short of hills, but some are less suitable with not much run off.
The main casualty of the snow was my planned night out - a non-Christmas get together with pre-retirement friends from Lakeland IT department.
I haven't taken many photographs. I think the best would have been about 3 in the morning. When I looked out of the bathroom window. The snow looked as if it was lit by floodlight as the almost full moon cast a yellow glow over everything - but a warm bed beckoned. These two show the start of the stone facing on the classroom, with and without snow.
