Snow!

Somehow its always worth a mention. This morning we had just a sprinkling, not quite enough to completely cover the road. I can imagine that in the future when there is rarely snow in England people will make even more of a fuss. I didn't really cause any problems, but I would like to know if my perception that the first snow of the winter usually arrives on a Sunday is true. At school we were asked to test a weather recording system - on a computer. I immediately sent off my query on the OCR form asking how much snow we had every day since 1950 (or there abouts). The results were strange. There had been snow in the summer, and that's what I was looking for, something I remembered, that others didn't.

A few days later and sure enough there it was - snow in June - and lots more than I remembered.

More recent memories are also refreshed today as John, the pilot on our plane flight earlier this year posted some pictures on facebook. I'm not sure if you'll have to login to see them.
