really blowing around now

Biggest drifts around 2.5 feet deep.


The main A520 close to us is partially blocked due to snow.

Here on the North Shropshire/North Staffordshire border after 24 hours or so of continuous snow, (heaviest mid morning/early afternoon today) i have measured generally 13 or 14cms of level snow in various places in the garden with amazing drifting/sculptures driven by the wind all over the village. A fantastic winters day!.

I'm the first to admit John I had written it off completely, never thought
this month could change so dramatically, from that very mild benign state
into a full blown bitter cold wintry spell

Today took me back to January 1979, snowiest month I've ever lived through.
I have to say it's got a long way to go to get anywhere near 1979, but it
does look like this cold spell could go on for a while longer yet.

To add insult to injury...................... it's still snowing here,
that's 27 out of the last 28 hours
