We very rarely get a good amount of snow in the SE of London, the clouds usually come from the North, so are heated up as they cross over the Smoke.

But this morning for 5 hours non-stop we got snow, to cover the snow we had in the night.

Usually my children barely make a snowman 5 inches high.

A few weeks ago it was their record at a grand old foot high snowman. This morning my son made one about 4 3/4 foot high, and made a little friend for it at about 2 foot high.

He was so excited.

I won the snowball fight with him on the wat to school though. My trick was to get lots of good snowballs, rather than he who tried to get the biggest snowball.
