Morning all, heavy snow falling here and Surrey across the valley has disappeared in the blizzard. Can't see very much of Sussex either come to that. Not a good day to be driving around, hope all who need to stay safe.
Hard frost here too, the weather people say we may get snow. Happy Birthday @D0rdogne_Damsel, it looks like a lot of us have birthdays around now, perhaps we should have another virtual party! 😄
Awoke to a snowfall - few inches. Bit of a concern making sure my team could get into work but, love them, some were up at 5 moving their cars onto main roads etc. The snow is quite crumbly (no good for a snowman, I am informed). It’s not that much really but it’s going to be between 3 and minus 3 the next 24 hours, so all the walked-on and driven-on surfaces will be like an ice rink tomorrow.
I hope the people I have seen walking past with kids, dogs, sleds, trays etc will be keeping their distance and not having accidents.
We have a couple of foxes exploring the garden in the snow, our own personal Winterwatch. One is limping badly - carrying a front paw. Will post a photo on the daily wildlife thread later.
It's still snowing and forecast to snow for the rest of the day with -7 degrees overnight. Needless to say, I wont be going anywhere.
Had some bad news today, both Firstborn and Merri have tested positive for Covid. They are feeling quite poorly and look awful. I facetimed them this morning. Firstborn's Hubby and Mabel are negative at the moment so as they have two sitting rooms and two bathrooms the house will be split in two for the foreseeable. We are just keeping our fingers crossed that they will be OK. Merri is a bit of worrier and is a bit scared at the moment. As they are teachers they are working out what they do regarding the school, think it will be closed tomorrow for a deep clean and not sure what will happen after that.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
