Took a hand fork into the back (N facing) garden & had a prod in different areas to see how frozen it was.
About a quarter of the garden is frozen hard on the surface; a half is soft for about the top inch then frozen solid below & the quarter where the sun now reaches is lovely & soft .
I woke up this morning to an inch of that horrid wet snow and it was still snowing, finally stopped about 10.30 ish, by the time I'd got back from town 1 pm it had all gone, so glad about that, hasn't dropped below freezing all day so that must be a plus point, not quite sure about the weather tomorrow but could do with some good dry stuff as I got a load of plants from B+Q bit weather worn but at 10 pence a plant can't complain, got a beautiful Black Grass looks a right stunner.

No danger of being snowed in here, it stopped at about 3pm and hasn't settled.
About 4c here today & rather cloudy.
