In the early hours of sunday morning snow started to fall again and didn’t stop for nearly 24 hours. We haven’t seen this much snow for many a year and even when it has snowed it has thawed by mid morning. Not so on this occasion.

I waited a while to see if the sun would melt the snow from my car. I eventually decided to take action and try to remove the snow. I started off with a soft brush, several of my neighbours had used this technique, but I found it rather laborious and not very effective. I resorted to putting a plastic food bag over my glove and scraping the snow off by hand and when I was able to unearth the boot of my car I opened it to retrieve my ice scraper!

There was six inches of snow on the top of my car and several inches on the bonnet so it took me quite some time to remove it. I couldn’t remove it all, the lower layer was ice and the temperature dropped causing the windows to gain a frosty layer.

I had intended to have a go at Mr C’s car too, but I ran out of light and the temperature dropped causing the cars to freeze over again.

I can’t resist sharing a few more snowy garden photographs with you
