    I know that maybe to some of you this is just a sprinkling of snow but we have not had conditions like this for some time now. We have about 8" at the moment with a threat of more to come. Here are a few photos of our garden

    Now that's very pretty. And just enough snow to play in without it being a nuisance. :D

    That is so very beautiful. Trees always look surreal when covered in snow or ice.

    I must admit that your snow looks lovely Pat - ours is so deep that the whole place is now featureless. I love the photograph of Toby and Busby together. :-D Most of our neighbours cats won't venture out in the 3 feet + of snow we have - they'd vanish if they did!! :eek:

    Re: Snow !

    Sounds nice Garry...any chance of some photos?

    We have had yet another 'dump' of snow since these photos were taken this morning so even deeper now.

    I've heard the UK has been hit hard this winter. My Scottish friends have been writing about the snow and cold there. Hang in there...looks like your cat is giving it his all!

    Wow GG! That looks like the snow that we've had here recently (and still have). I'll we are under the same cloud. :D
    The Hibiscus is a real gem to see...but those poor little birdies having their fav restaurant all snowed-in. Ahhhhhhhh.....

    I am really amazed at the amounts of snow everyone has! Our 2 feet has melted but i kind of wish for some more... about as much as GG has, but not as much as Eileen, Droopy or Barb. Love the pic of Toby and Busby - -it looks like Busby is watching over the little kitty.

    You know GG, Your Busby makes me think of Jacqueline Lawson's dog on her e-cards.
