Puts a little shed roof collapse into perspective. Been pretty bad in the Isle of Man too.

 

If you look closely at the snow flakes, I think that you will see tiny Norwegian flags tattooed on the surface of the flakes, hahaha

No, but what discouraging images to see. I hope that the folks over across the channel will be alright.

 

I heard about the Irish snow storm. I feel so sorry for the people affected and all those poor sheep.

 

So much snow and so late in the season. A tragic loss of sheep. Such a contrast from last year to this. Global warming? According to the climatologists some areas should experience more heat while others experience more cold. But it's the contrast from year to year that is ridiculous. I am ready for spring whenever it decides to get here.

Things are trying to get into the Spring mood.

Wow! That snow in Ireland is unbelievable! I had no idea. It breaks my heart about the sheep. There are a few sheep on a farm near my work shop, I love watching them as I drive by. You don't see them much around here. We have a lot of cattle, and farmers are needing to take extra care with the newborns this year because it is still so cold.
Hope the snow melts gradually and doesn't cause flooding.

 

Hi Kay,..lovely to watch Spring Lambs.
