This is a quick montage of a few of the photos taken over the last two days to record the snow thats fallen since the beginning of this week (4th Jan onwards).
Talk about typical weather, getting all snowed in just when its time to return to work. Mind we had snow just as I was packing up for Xmas and I was one of the few in our office area to drag myself in, the downside of living so close to the site is theres no excuse not to get in!
I've already fallen over once despite my best efforts to stay on two feet and making sure I walk with my trekking pole complete with metal spike. It was so sudden! One minute I was upright, the next sitting on my rear end in the snow, didn't even feel myself going until it was too late. Just goes to show how easy it is and how careful one has to be in this weather. Fortunately nothing was damaged but my pride, so today I was extra careful walking into work, taking it nice and slowly, small steps which is supposed to keep your centre of gravity where it should be.
I shall be glad to see the back of this weather - roll on summer thats all I can say. Mind its early in the year yet and usually February brings us more of the dreaded white stuff. The weight of it is destroying my plants, I've already had to chuck away several large pieces of a rather nice hebe where its been ripped off the main stem. At this rate I'll be lucky to still have any of the plant left come the spring!!!
