Antipodean followers (in particular) might be interested to know that a little more snow fell, last night. Not an awful lot - but enough to bring down a tree on the lane which leads up to where we live.

Conditions have meant that the nightly visit from a local fox has proved unproductive. He/she/they understand exactly where we usually throw left-overs or seeds for the birds. However, although it's not terribly clear in the photo, it's clear to anyone who knows where to look for their tracks in the snow that the visit has been aborted due to lack of provisions......

.........and the reason for that is that the food has been placed in a hanging basket. Not to deny the fox access to the food, by the way - but, to encourage access for the birds. Note the icicles which have formed underneath the outside staircase.

B. The photos are cracking! The icicles say it all. I can't really imagine it having only experienced snow a handful of times in my lifetime however saying that I was once snowed in at a bar in downtown New York and did not get home until 12pm the following day! Your weather has made the news here, headlines in fact....
