White Lightning

Woken up this morning with lightning lighting up the bedroom and then almost immediately a hug clap of thunder. Wow!

And when I looked out side, we'd had quite a dump of snow. And it was still coming down. I'd never had snow with lightning before - ever!

It's now after 4.00 and getting dark and it's been pretty much snowing all day.

After baking bread and making soup I did clear a couple of paths through the snow up our drive, but as the street is still untouched, we wont be going anywhere in the car very soon.

Breagha loves it though. She was camped by the back door most of the day and would whine constantly to get out and play in the snow. Which is fine but after half-an-hour or so she could hardly move as the snow formed a crusty skirt around her.

We're now all cozying down for the evening and wondering if there's any point ironing a shirt for tomorrow, as without a sudden thaw I doubt I'll be making the trip to Edinburgh
