I overheard a conversation between an older lady (by accident - the older generation do like to talk that little bit louder...don't you think) and a cashier in the bank this morning that really made me chuckle.
The older lady was saying how nice and beautiful the snow was, but how lovely it disappeared so quickly. If that was a guarantee then let it snow several times a week!
Yep - The snow is gone.
All washed away by the onslaught of yet more rain late yesterday afternoon. Why not more snow Mr Weather person - it was cold enough!?.
All that freshness just melted away in almost a blink of an eye.
It settled here so thickly yet a few miles out - not a thing - not even a flake...the mister told me so who travelled that way very early in morning.
The only thing left standing is the snowman (melting slowly) sat alone in the back garden...as so many others are in neighbouring gardens I pass.
The sun is out today, the rain has also fled - not for long though I'm sure - and it is bitterly cold.
If you follow me on Twitter (the button is over there on the top'ish' right of the page marked with a little bird) you will see the absolutely freezing pictures I took this morning down on the seafront - I was sooooo cold.
Have a beautiful day.

Gorgeous shots, thanks Nina. Love the beachy ones too - you must have been frozen!
ReplyDeleteBright but still cold here so we have frozen mushy snow now if that makes sense? Just issued a cold weather alert at work though for the rest of the week (our staff look after lots of older and vulnerbale people) and apparently its the wind that's going to make us freeze later in the week. Brrrrrrrrrrrr!
Stay cosy.

No snow here :( M x
ReplyDeleteAmazing that the snow could melt away so fast, what a shame, glad you took some lovely pictures before it went.
ReplyDeleteironically, it's getting colder here where I'm at, but these are lovely! thank you for sharing xx

A snow covered landscape is the most beautiful covered land...thanks for sharing because we've had absolutely none and zero of the stuff and i would have liked just one day to take sophia out in it ;0)x
ReplyDeleteA good thing you went out early then to take pictures of the now disappeared snow!Just lovely! :-)
ReplyDeleteI really don't like snow ... I know I'm in the minority ... I love to look at it for a while, then like the old lady in the bank, am glad when it goes! Otherwise it turns to slush and ice, and really isn't pretty at all ... Must have had a bad experience as a child!
ReplyDeleteLove Claire xxx
I knew there would be lots of lovely snow photos to see, hope you get more of the white stuff.
ReplyDeleteLovely views you had while it lasted. Our snow is mostly melted but the weather man mentioned some more. My fingers are crossed! I hope I am not talking loud yet :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you had quite a bit of snow!! We had maybe a couple of inched yesterday morning but it's been sunny so a lot of it has gone. But the combination of snow and sun was lovely while it lasted - so much light.

We had a dusting, but still waiting....Dxx
ReplyDeleteHi Nina,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the snow stayed around long enough for your to photograph it. It looks so beautiful your photo by the sea was equally stunning.

I loved the snow when I lived in the UK - although it did not snow enough where we lived (London) - it was even better when we did'nt have to goto work, but that did not happen very often. x
ReplyDeleteYou had more snow than we did and I am grateful that it has mostly gone away now.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to catch up on my blog-reading which is why I haven't commented recently.
We are still covered here but very icy! Lovely photos! :) x
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos, lovely details Nina! The snow looks so fluffy!Love it!Too bad it melted...that's always so sad!
ReplyDeleteWonderful snowy photos, Nina! I loved your house-y ones too. You capture such lovely details. Keep cosy!
ReplyDeleteHelen x
beautiful pictures, was that snow on rosemary? pretty! Heather x
ReplyDeleteYep, its pretty much gone here too Nina, and I didn't even get any chance to take any photos! (Apart from a few long distant views from the bedroom window! I was in keep warm mode!)x
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, it seems like snow makes everything beautiful, but woke in a rather silly mood so the rose hip photo reminded me of a little dried octopus, cute! Stay warm and we are still waiting for a least a little dusting of the white stuff!
ReplyDeleteI did so enjoy the tiny bit of snow we had here in East Sussex, Kent was more generously blessed with snow from the looks of your photos, really beautifully captured Nina. I was rather pleased to see a sunrise and some lovely sun rays today thoughx Penelope
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snow is better than none at all, no matter how long it lasts. I hope your little ones enjoyed the white stuff.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful winter limbs. Our snow has melted as well, but I think we're expecting new flakes momentarily!
ReplyDeleteIt's all so beautiful! I know it didn't last long but in the time you did have it, I would have been outside playing! Gorgeous photos!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos -I can't believe it went so quickly though as you said! Ah well...x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I'm just off an a little walk and I'm watching the temperature drop and it's only mid-day, down to -5 atm! we still have snow lying around here in the Midlands. Suzy x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snowy shots. I am sooo jealous.....send some our way please!
ReplyDeleteOh the pure magic of snow - it has the power to beautify everything it lands on. According to the forecast there is more on the way - fingers crossed here for a little more magic before spring!
ReplyDeleteNot a jot here...I've been studying the clouds hopefully...I know, I am silly but I love it and I WANT to be snowed in and keep him at home for a day or two! Beautiful thick fluffy stuff you had!I like the black twigs all drenched in snow, like robins feet...the way I draw them!
ReplyDeleteLove to you -x-
your winter shots are so beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteHey Nina,
ReplyDeleteGotta agree with all the people above me. Your winter shots are beautiful and what the old lady said was right, it's a sad thing that the snow comes but doesn't stay because they are really very magical and full of wonders, provided if I don't slip and eat a mouthful of snow =P
Its my first time here but I really love your blog because it's simple yet classy. Not overly pasted with banners or adverts or any other unnecessary things (hope I don't offend anyone else by saying this >w<).
I've followed you on Google Friend Connect, so that I would get updates to your future post! Can't wait :D
Love,
