>It was up to 14 deg C last week, then went down to 2-3 this week, then this am I woke to c. 1" of snow! Just to put it into context, my elder daughter is 11 and only once in her life have we had enough snow to get the toboggan out. Usually we MAY get a light smattering that doesn't stick. Today, as is often the case, it'd all gone by lunch time.

Snow? What's that? Ahh! the white stuff I've seen in movies, you mean?

(BTW, have you noticed I haven't posted any birds lately?).
