The snow is coming

Forget Russian gas and all the problems that has caused recently with disputes over who takes what from the pipeline, the Siberian snow arrives by airmail and is free. The picture was taken earlier this evening and shows one of the showers. This afternoon as we went out for a walk and to deliver 'The Pilgrim' (our parish magazine) we found ourselves in a mini blizzard. I was not expecting to be outside with snow on the ground quite so soon, and was wondering how I'd react to the snow next winter. Well I don't have to worry any more, I'm pleased to report that I remained upright.
Tomorrow, as we get our worst snow for six years, there will be major disruption on the roads and public transport will be delayed and cancelled. I have already made arrangements to work from home. I expect the schools will be closed, so I can watch the children playing snow balls and building snowmen, during my occasional breaks.
