There's a fallen tree across the cycleway - and people have had to
actually walk round it!!!

Did it actually fall over from that dusting of snow? 8-)

IMO, no. I think it fell over because the Council felled the tree next
to it, combined with the weight of wet slushy ivy growing on it.

The snow wasn't a dusting, it was a few inches of wet snow that melted
as fast as it fell - and then turned to rain. Thirty miles further
north where the ground was hard frozen they had a whole day's snow and
sunshine today. sigh

jim in the Great White North (Calgary if you forgot) with lots of snow but
currently (2:30 AM) +3C going to +5 Tues/Wed and +7 Thurs with the usual
west winds (a chinook) being the cause of it all. -9 for Saturday...So
we'll see what's left. 4 cm new snow this afternoon.

I've seen what a foehn can do to snow in the Alps. Not pretty!
