Boom, and indeed boom. Following on from last photo, here’s a few shots from the recent snowfall here in Scotland. It’s beginning to thaw now, but as recently as last weekend it was 2 feet deep on the lawn. Feel free to mock/be amazed depending on your latitude…..
This was the fruits of nearly 2 weeks of constant shovelling. Four foot piles of snow that will probably be still with us in July 
The back garden: check out the snow on the playhouse roof! Normally in front of you here is a rockery + some solar lights that are around 2 feet tall.
Thankfully these fellows went quietly as they were right above the front door. One of these straight through the top of your head could ruin your whole day…..
Anyway, that’s Winter done and Spring is just round the corner…… well, almost :-0

Wow.. you took great pictures. I’d been to Scotland once at that time there was no such shoke
Makes it look like you have a really short fence.
It’s supposed to get up to 40 F here tomorrow. Positively tropical. Jim and the kids are building an igloo in the side yard.
If you mean the one on the right, it is only waist high-strange idea, but it was here when we bought the house.
We managed 6 celsius today, nearly put some shorts on
We went above freezing for the first time since Christmas this week. But we never had more than about a foot of snow on the ground from the recent snowfalls.
I am amazed that you seem to get so little snow up there ordinarily, given that you’re considerably further up the globe than I am. And not NEARLY as cold, from what I understand.
But I really do prefer snow — even heavy snows — to cold rain or freezing rain. That I think is the coldest weather of all….
I think it’s all to do with the Gulf Stream usually, but no-one seems to know for sure…..
I know what you mean, snow is by far my favourite winter weather, IF I don’t have to drive. But I do, so bah. Not that I have any particular problem driving in it, it’s other people that worry me….
I do NOT envy you one bit. We had a little bit of snow here…enough for one snow day. Then it was gone. That’s MY kind of snow.
Hi Tish. It was with us about 4 weeks, just gone now thankfully. (To be replaced by driving wind & rain!)
