Well, the Met Office got it right.....
......but, it didn't stop number two son from accepting his mother's challenge to take her shopping in the Freelander (with new chunky tyres fitted in readiness for yesterday's MOT test). They can just be seen heading up the drive (above - to the right of the telegraph pole).
The other photo (below) was taken to demonstrate the comparison with the previous day (below below). The fact that the tray - which was clearly visible in the earlier photo - has been covered in snow gives some idea of how much has fallen - and, by all accounts, more is due!
