10pm.
Well we haven't done badly this winter with the weather. It has been predominantly mild, a few frosts but here along the Somerset coast definitely a mild winter. Until tonight. Sunrise this morning was fabulous. A painters dream of purples, oranges and violets. The drive into work showing a frosty landscape and bright sunshine. I knew though fro the forecast it wasn't to last. Snow was due by the middle of the afternoon. Yet as I left work early to avoid the worst of the snow, not a flake had fallen. By 8pm, still no snow. Then just after a fourth look out of the door, the first raindrops fell, quickly becoming sleat. Within 30 minutes the ground was turning white and by the time this image was taken, a good covering blanketed the area. And it is still coming down. Not overly deep but it has come down quickly and seems to be a classic wet show - sticks to everything. It should look amazing tomorrow in the light.
A funny moment happened around 9pm. Julie and I were gazing out the front bedroom window, opposite Alise was doing the same, as the net curtains shimmered, we waved frantically across the road at each other like daft children seeing snow for the first time. I'll head off to bed now, as I need to be in work tomorrow, train I think!
