Never let it be said that we weren't warned.
If you saw my previous post you'll know that on Wednesday there was a severe weather warning issued by the UK Met office.
I had hoped that we wouldn't be too affected by the snow but boy was I wrong.
What started as gentle snow flurries soon became blizzard like, by the time darkness fell trees and bushes were covered and the spring bulbs were hibernating once more.
It wasn't until Saturday afternoon that the sun began to shine in a beautiful blue sky and the thaw began.
Neighbours came together with snow shovels, a forgotten snow blower was uncovered in the back of someone's garage and the heaviest snowfall seen in these parts for 27 years began to be cleared from in front of homes, along driveways and public footpaths.
It sure has been a snowy season here in the US this winter too. And it's so nice to catch up with you Maggie! I've missed you!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, Maggie, I suspect that snowfall brought things to a standstill in your area! And what a positive outcome for the community to come together to help each other! Thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a LOT of snow. It's beautiful, but a lot of work. How great that the community pulled together through this unusual event.
ReplyDeleteWondering if my comments are going through dear - sure I left one here earlier in the month. That was a lot of snow, glad your village pull together to help in emergency weather etc.
