Day 2.005: Snow: cold again

I took this picture while it was snowing on Sunday. I still haven't really got used to the cold snow we get here. It is almost always approximately freezing point on the odd occasions when it snows in the south of England and the snow immediately takes on that packing consistency that makes excellent snowmen. Not so here.

Today may not have been too cold for snow, but it was definitely too cold. Tonight's low is expected to be five degrees below zero. Doesn't sound too bad UK readers? Think again! That's below -20 °C.

The post title relates to a health and safety bulletin sent around at work a few weeks ago after someone slipped on some ice after the first snow of the year. Someone offered this précis: "Ice: slippery again this year."

It might have been me.
