I'd rather have Amber Snow, rather pretty. Fed up with these Beasts from the Easts. Brown snow is worse than yellow by the way. NEVER eat that!! |

It only happened rarely, and I expect that rather than bringing luck, the snow just brought a light, airiness to the pancakes. |

18 Mar 18 - 08:01 AM (#3911634) Subject: RE: BS: Yellow Snow From: Senoufou More of the blasted stuff here in Norfolk! It's not too deep, but we'd thought that was the end last week. This is only a baby Beast From The East, so it can toddle off sharpish. The poor birds, they look absolutely frozen and dejected. |

I'm having to dig away twice as much! Must be a subtly different wind direction as the deposits are now diagonal across the track rather than perpendicular to it. The depth is a bit greater as well. Hoping to be dug out by Tuesday. Robin |

18 Mar 18 - 05:35 PM (#3911745) Subject: RE: BS: Yellow Snow From: Steve Shaw It's bloody bad here in Cornwall. We had a ton of snow overnight, a temporary thaw, then another deluge this afternoon that's still going on at 9pm. It's all very pretty and I do have milk and spuds. We've lived in this house, half a mile inland from Widemouth Bay, for 31 years and we've seen snow covering the grass just four times. Thing is, two of those four times have been in March 2018! |
