This morning we woke up to the rather picturesque sight of an unexpected snowstorm on Saturday night. 4 to 5 inches of snow and not a tyre track or footprint to be seen.

See the photos.

It’s not unknown to have snow in April, but it’s been a fair few years since we had such a heavy dusting, especially after such a mild winter and with an early spring.

The view certainly beats any TV rubbish and being on a Sunday I didn’t have to drive in it (result!)

Shortly after the photos were taken, the sun peeped out between a break in the clouds and within an hour it was all slush. Never mind…
