garden 2012 no 26 First snow in the garden.

It’s December and I guess it had to happen. We had our first light dusting of snow. We were promised a lot more over the following few days but it didn’t happen.
There was light, fluffy, white, dust sprinkled every where. It sparkled in the sun, was very pretty but not too cold. 

That was a week or so ago, now we have rain, rain and more rain. It’s not so cold, but its no where near as pretty either.

The Gardening Starts; No 3

Or maybe not, perhaps a little optimistic..............I thought we had seen the last of this white stuff.

The worst of the weather always seems to miss this little corner of Britain. Just seen the forecast, looks like you have more on the way :-((

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.

delete reply starfishred wrote on Nov 23, '08 very nice pics it snowed here to but unfortunatly right now it is raining.

delete reply veryfrank wrote on Nov 23, '08 The pictures are nice, but I would be a very happy man if the only snow that I ever see again is in other people's pictures.

delete reply bennett1 wrote on Nov 23, '08 It is interesting that you are further north than I am (I am just south of the 45th parallel), your days are shorter this time of year, but the temps are milder. 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.....
