34 cm and counting!
Now it's more or less disappeared, washed away in the rain, so back to work this morning. For myself, I was quite glad of it, as there was no two ways about not getting out, it was pretty and a novelty, and it gave me some much appreciated time to catch up with some things which I really needed a chunk of undisturbed time at home for. None of which was keeping up with this blog or anybody much else's, I'm afraid. Still, quite a few more snowy pictures to come, and I'll try to get about again. Though now, of course there'll be all the things I cancelled and put off to catch up with. How do people work full-time and raise families, I often wonder?
Back soon.

Oh, it's a tape measure. I thought it looked too fragile for serious snow clearing. Can't match your depth but how about -10C at 10 am last Friday?
Crikey, that is a lot of snow.
Like you, I quite the suspension of normal everyday happenings and the opportunity to bed down and get some of the neglected things done.
And snow is a lot of fun. I ski-ed down our street on Tuesday with the boys. Such a laugh.
Send snow, send snow...
I'm glad you had a good (and productive) snow-in. I love the quiet when the roads are full of snow and I don't have to go anywhere. Those of us with children and full time jobs just leave a lot of things undone or are very sleep deprived. Despite my untaxing job I am in the former group.
Somehow I never think of snow when I think of France.
Wine, yes.
Snow, no.
By not doing anything else (to answer your question).
We're still deep in snow. The novelty has worn off.
Yes, it sounds a bit tough in Scotland...
Nimble and Isabelle, but that's the point, you do do other things; Nimble you also blog, read loads of books and write intelligently about them, make creative Halloween costumes, go skinny-dipping with pagans and baptists and stuff, Isabelle, you read loads and look after elders and sing in choirs and who knows what - I know your children are bigger now but I get the impression you've always done plenty of things. I am very impressed by so many people's lives.
Hi!
I just came over, randomly clicking, from your comment at Dorothee Lang's Language / Place. I like yr blog!
ugh. i lived in northern alberta (canada) for almost 27 years. over there winter lasts from october to may, a lot of it hovers from around -20C to -40C and there is snow, snow, snow. as you would expect, NOTHING stops, else we'd never get anything done. have i mentioned how much i despise winter and its dreary monochromatic insistence on cold? your admittedly lovely pics made me run for a hot cup of tea. thanks for the reminder of what i'm missing and how lovely that feels.
