All weekend images have filtered through social media or on the news of a Winter Wonderland. Across the UK but especially in southern Cumbria snow has fallen to produce idyllic scenes. In other areas of England heavy frosts produced similar views. And while here in Somerset we have had some frosty days, today as I drove around the lanes near home at 10am it struck me that this scene is more typical of this part of the world. It was 7 degrees, the relentless rain made everything sodden, and the thick cloud made for a grey half light. This is more typical of a Somerset winters day. Someone mentioned on Facebook when I posted this 'don't forget the mud'. And Amy is quite right. A Somerset countryside winters day is always muddy, with a good chance it'll be wet, and more often than not mild (for the time of year). Definitely not an area to expect a White Christmas.
