(no subject)

It appears to have tried to snow overnight. I think it should try harder. It didn't even settle properly on the cement. It might have another go later today, though, perhaps it is only getting warmed up. Or cooled down, or whatever it has to do to snow.

*sigh*

SNOW!!!

I was on the way to a student, talking to Flicky on the phone. "I wish it would snow properly," I complained, "rather than trying to fob us off with this nonsense stuff." About two seconds later, it started to snow.

:)))))

After I was done teaching I went out into the back garden with the boys (two of them I teach and one is their younger brother) and made snow angels and a snowman. It was great fun. I'm not sure whether they had more fun, or me. I could do more but I have to go to a meeting tonight (YAWN) and I have stuff to get done first.

I can't currently tell whether it is still snowing lightly or there is just snow blowing off the trees and rooftops.

The roads tomorrow morning are going to be a bit of a nightmare, especially if this continues or restarts. They are better than they were last year, but I don't think there is really enough grit for teensy cars with no snow tyres. I plan to get up early enough to walk skate to Golders Green tomorrow morning if necessary, although if it doesn't snow any more I think it should be alright. Anyway I won't find out whether it's goign to snow anymore until I wake up, so I'll plan to wake a bit earlier for a nice 45-minute walk (takes me 30 minutes normally but I will be carrying and it will be icy; shouldn't slow me down too much but good to plan for it anyway).
