Bleak Midwinter?

'In the bleak midwinter,
frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron,
water like a stone;
snow had fallen,
snow on snow,
snow on snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long ago.'


The snow that has been forecast has finally arrived!

Childish excitement combined with mild panic seemed to be the order of the day with colleagues at work.

People were running to the windows to gawk in amazement at the first flurry then quickly jumping on their computer frantically Googling bus and train delays.

Now I don't have to drive to work, I find the sight of snow rather exciting. I found myself grinning as I left work, staring up into the black sky filled with confetti like flakes.

As much as I love the hymn above, I have to disagree with the lyrics - Winter is many things, but today it didn't seem bleak at all.
