We had constant sleet for most of yesterday here in Norfolk and when I went to bed last night it was snowing.
The poor old Pigeons sat on the roof covered in it trying to sleep.
This morning was quite a shock as there was a couple of inches of the white stuff covering everything and it's still snowing heavily now.
Across from me the kids have built a decent snowman about 5' tall...
I remember '64.......

Yep - remember these years well. Was a child living in Glouceter for the first one and we built a block of flats out of the snow - well they seemed big to us. 63 was the year I married. By April it had just started warming up a bit. 78 was back out working after the children, so had to struggle back and forth and the last one I remember was 1987 when I was snowed in, with drifts of over 3ft on our married quarters. The stuff we get nowadays in Lincolnshire is only around for a couple of days at the most. Having been told when I left the Midlands that I was coming to a county which had a dire weather history, I think we get off scott free tehse days.
