Fame at last Ken!

In the far SW no snow of course. In fact today has seen some welcome sunshine and a maximum of 8.8C. Out of the breeze the sun felt pleasant.

At Praa Sands, >65s not taking the cold weather warning seriously

The sea looked lovely - clean 6' swell

. . . from the warmth of the pub

Tomorrow looks bleak for Cornwall, wind & sleety rain.

Now that's living, Graham.

Snow's overrated - sick of shovelling the blooming stuff.

Graham - you captured Costa Geriatric spell diddly (I've left the auto typo-correction for mistyped 'splendidly').

Still stuck at home for day 5. Our driveway has a small but significant slope.

The snow melted then it refroze and would make getting out, and especially back up the slope, quite impossible.

And a [normally considered useful] snow plough has left a bank of rock-hard frozen snow where our driveway meets the minor road.
