Yes really snowed in. We had snow: not the-annoying-stuff-on-the-ground-that-makes-the-car-skid type of snow; not the stuff-that's-rubbish-for-snowballs type of snow. This was the real thing, the deep-and-crisp-and-even-St Wenceslas type snow. The roads blocked between here and Q'Ferry type snow. The forget-about-even-trying-to-buy-last-minute-presents, and the-airport's-closed-again type snow.
Yeah, and yadda yadda yadda everywhere else has better and deeper snow. I know.
But it seemed a shame not to show off Cheesetown...
Enjoy the winter slideshow - if there are a lot of graves it's because Ned and I shortcut through there on our way up the hill... nothing more macabre...

OOH! Pretty. I like LOOKING at snow, but being in it? Not so much. I've been gloating about Manitoba's lack of snow this year (really amazingly little) all week and today I find out that tomorrow we're due the mother of all snow storms. That'll teach me. Damn it. Enjoy the picturesque scenes! :)

It looks beautiful - at the moment we have grey watery slush ugh!
Have a pleasant sober Christmas and (more importantly) a much improved new year.

We've only managed a few frosts and a sprinkle of snow that melted almost straight away.
Have a warm Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Looking good. Helminthdale's similarly-covered but it just can't go deep enough for me. So long as it does it while I'm safely home and well out of it.

Ned looks in his element. And the graves look so photogenic!
I understand Cheestown is so called because the brifge builders had cheese in their rolls.
Best wishes from Pot Noodle Ville!

Merry Christmas honey.
Hope you and Cherub are having a good day.

Ms Veg - Agreed, very pretty and cold and wet and better looked at than walked through. Unfortunately Ned disagrees....
Kaz - Thanks. I'd start singing "Things can only get better".. but then I remember waht happened to the old labour party when they did...
Scarlet - Frosts...ha! amateurs!...
Kev - hope you enjoyed a nice deep yuletide snow then
Rog - Yes Cheesetown is so called because the bridge builders ate cheese sarnies. Whether this is because the landladies were MEAN or because the builders were CHEAP I don't know....
Roses - Thanks. It's only a day, hey?
