Snow's all gone here, from garden and road and pavements, it's up to 45f already in the greenhouse, happy days!
Speak for yourself! Although we are only about 4 miles apart as the crow flies, any parts of the roads and footpaths which have been in shade all week are still icy round here. At least they were at 5pm today. I don't think there will be much left in the next couple of days though. Our patio doesn't get out of shade this time of year and there's still plenty of white stuff on there as I type this.
I didn't go into town on Saturday because I thought it was so icy. Youngest daughter lives in Eastbourne. Collected grandaughter,there was NO snow,my daughter couldn't believe the pictures. Our village was -3, to-5,a few days and nights. The little sun just melted the top,on the roads and pavements....just enough to turn them into a skating rink.Their school was closed Monday, Tuesday all the snow was gone.

We may be in the same boat come Friday! The long-range forecast is calling for temps in the 50sF and rain...and then a drop of 30-35 degrees so everything will freeze solid. But it's still five days out and as the saying goes, if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes.

Forgot to say, my small waterbutt is wobbling around like a Weeble at the moment due to water expansion. I hope it snaps back into shape afterwards. We're used to cold up here but this seems worse than usual somehow. I've lost a few hardy plants that always spend the winter in the greenhouse.
You'll all be pleased to know that my butt is now a normal shape again. It took a while to thaw out but even the springtails that were frozen in the water have survived.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
That's more like a fall of snow @CrankyYankee. I always laugh when folk in the UK get an inch of snow [and you can still see the pavements ] and they go into panic mode. The wet snow is horrible though. That's what we tend to get here, and it's often on wet ground. Much better when it's falling onto drier ground.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

@Fairygirl it wasn't a record breaker, but it was a good start! The hard part was the heavy snow on the trees broke limbs that snapped power lines. Thousands were without power around our state; some people were out for days. We were lucky, only 6 hours without power, but I have a generator for backup.
