Daffs in my garden (09:30) in the thin covering under the trees.
2nd snow of the season to settle in west Cornwall, the first being on 30th November. This is the 1st to settle down to the sea level, away from exposed north facing coast where it was sleet.
Might post a couple taken when it was snowing later, but it was still pretty much dark.
This snow shower resulted in many schools being closed, even in Penzance, when there was just enough snow to play snowballs, and by noon I suspect it will be a distant memory. Including Humphry Davey 2ndary school in the middle of Penzance .
I remember, when I was a lad and winters were colder (and they really were, it was the '60s) we never got sent home from school. As a result on one day by home time there were no buses, and the road to Sennen, 8 miles away where I lived, was essentially blocked. We were just expected to walk for 3 hours. Three of us set off & got picked up by a 4 wheel drive around half way back. We all rather enjoyed it, though my parents were suffering a bit. Shame there were no mobiles then to record the event.
How things have changed.
