We've had 6 inches (15cms) of snow overnight. The reosemary in the front garden was flattened by it - branches lying along the ground, so I went out and kicked the branches up, dislodging the snow as I did so.
I haven't the heating on at the moment, so the snow on my roof could be looking as good as that on my neighboours' because of there's not much heat to escape. I did notice on the roofs over the road that a couple of those with loft conversions weren't looking as thickly covered, though the snow on the loft conversation immediately opposite me is nice and thick.
It is now 10.30 and the first children are playing in the street. I don't want to show my age, but I'll say it anyway - in my youth we couldn't get out into the snow fast enough and had to be forced to eat our breakfasts first. I don't think London gets that much more snow than West Cornwall so the children round here can't all be blase - it's been a year since the last lot!!!
