It's a White day

The weather forecast was spot-on.

We're snowed under 5 inches of snow today and it's still snowing. Thick white flakes fall steadily; the density and pace remind me of ash raining down.

Cars have slowed to a crawl on our hill and schools were closed. I can hear the elated whoops of kids as they have a day out, walking down the hill.

Mr.R's surgery called early to ask him not to drive to work. He's had to walk today, poor thing. The slippery, slush filled roads and pavements will be a treacherous path, as commuters navigate the snow without support.

I've taken the day off and closed the office as well. I should do something constructive like catching up with my query challenge or cleaning the house!

Mr R built a snowman in the garden, but I swear it looked more like one of those modern Ganesh statutes that you see all over the place!
