    This was taken at 3pm this afternoon, it is now 12.30am and the snow hasn't stopped, so I imagine I won't be able to see these babies come morning.

    The snow has just begun here EJ. We're supposed to get between 13 and 15 cms overnight. It's definately going to be hard seeing our snowdrops if it does keep up.

    Nice snowdrops, EJ. Silly snow, it was supposed to fall around Christmas. I hope you haven't had too big an amount, and that you can still see your snowdrops.

    It looks like the snow has dropped in more than one sense. That is a lovely foto, Emma. We had a little blizzard yesterday but it stopped and some of it melted.
    It is encouraging to see your Snowdrop, in spite of the snow. Hang in there...spring's on it's way.

    Nope, can't see a single flower....or plant come to that now as we had masses of snow, and it is still falling.

    Good grief, EJ!...I notice that here we have teensy-weensy little snow flakes whiffling about outside now. They are so small one can barely see them if the background is light. I wonder if we are going to have a bunch of snow dumped on us here.

    I'm glad you got to see those lovely blooms before they were buried EJ.
    Mother Nature sure is a tease!

    At least they are not damaged by snow or frost

    How are you doing down there, EJ? Is your snow melting? I read that England's having the coldest winter in 13 years. Somebody said "global warming"...

    I picked one single snowdrop and brought inside today. Couldn't resist it.
