Sedately does it

As we walked by the river this morning a group of paddle boarders came downstream.  It was a little unexpected as we had commented to each other just the other day that it was now presumably too cold for them.  As you can see, the river itself was like a mill pond, with barely a breath of air.

The weather forecaster had promised us snow this afternoon, but by lunchtime the forecast had changed to rain, with the possibility of some snow this evening.  Needless to say, the forecaster's prophecy seems most unlikely to be fulfilled - certainly there is (s)no sign of any at the moment.
