Snow!
I've brought the kids over to Lincolnshire for some of half term. It snowed twice while we were there. This was one the first evening...
And this was on the morning we were setting off home. Nice!

Snow!
It's been cold for a while now. The first snow we saw was on the 17th December, with a large fall topping it up on the 20th. It has only just returned to normal.
This morning I had to get up at 4:30 to get a plane at 6:00 to Schiphol. This is the sight that greeted me...
I made it to the airport just after 5:00, and as it wasn't snowing they were hoping to clear the runway at 6:00. By the time I was through security (around 5:45 - it was a very long queue!) it had started snowing and the message had changed to 'Next Information at 7'. But 6:30 it changed to 'Next information at 9' and I decided to bail.
It was just gone 7 by the time I'd gone throught he proces of getting off the flight and being escorted back out again. The queue at the ticket desk was long but I waited to rebook my trip. All done by 7:45 I went to find a taxi to take me home. Easier said than done, but I eventually was on the way. I got home just after 8:30, having heard on the radio in the taxi that Tully's school was shut. It didn't stop snowing all day until about 9 at night, with a further 3 or 4 inches landing on top of that shown in the photo above... Nice.
