Nothing here, as LJ says don't get much snow as it always drops on the hills. Bit of a frost though making the car park at work rather slippy.

1 inch of snow this morning. Sorry Ugle Gourd but I was still in the land of the fairies at the time of your post this morning!

Little man was excited at seeing snow this morning but may have changed his mind by the time he walks back from school

We had a fair bit in Tingwall yesterday, but it thawed a little in later afternoon and then froze last night. Did a good fair skid out the front door this morning, completely taken by surprise. Glad we don't have any neighbours!

Nothing much here in Lerwick though. I wore my big boots to work and got out of the car and there was nothing in the car park. I looked a little over dressed.

We've got it as well - in fact it's still there by the greenhouse door (Working from ome today BTW). My Daughter texted me at 0055 this morning to tell me she had just had a snowball fight with some fellow students - good to see she's working hard at Leicester Uni !!
