We had the same in Northants today, but instead of flakes the 'snow' was like tiny polystyrene balls. It's also been windy and bitterly cold. I was on playground duty this morning and, despite being 'togged up' for Winter, I was chilled to the bone and for someone who prefers the cold to extreme heat that was something I'd not experienced before.
Wintry weather was a novelty when it first snowed this year ............ now it's getting boring!
