Nov 23, 2008, Multiply, First Snowfall in the garden

My determination to have all the autumn planting finished last week because of forecast snow and ground frost has paid off. I am so glad I made that extra effort last week in the school and got the kids out there planting our hedgerow and our bluebell bulbs.
Saturday, a small amount of snow.
The forecast was spot on, exactly as predicted, we had the first flutter of snowflakes on Saturday and a slightly heavier fall today.
Sunday, the snow begins to lie.
Tonight as I'm about to go to bed it is snowing again and the last time I looked it was laying and looking rather pretty, cold but attractive.
A few smowflakes became a fluffyAnd then it really started to lie, but despite the snow, I managed to make my way to my composter with the potato peelings.

We would not really call this snow because you can see more green than white. (Also your footprints hehe). Anyway, I find it interesting. I can look out my back window and see no grass at all. But it is still light at 5:00 pm. Our daytime temps have been 25F/-3C. Brrrrrrr.....
