More snow

It snowed again overnight. So back to clearing the road AGAIN!

Still getting icicles

The icicles are still forming. In some of these pictures you can also see the results of the hours of labour clearing the snow off the road. Only another 200 yards to go…

Icicles

Huge icicles hanging off the house today. I grabbed some pictures before breaking them off.

The snow is still with us, but the road is now nearly impassable.

Snow

It snowed again last night.

Nearly a foot of it.

We went for a walk through the golf course admiring the pristine white carpet (a hackneyed image I know). Some pictures below....

Snow clearance

We spent 2 hours yesterday working with neighbours to clear snow and ice from the road. One of our neighbours is a nurse and she needed to leave to get to work for her shift.

After 2 hours the road was clear enough for our neighbour Mark to get a car out to go to the DIY shop to get some salt.

With salt on it the road was clear enough to use :-)

There was ice under the snow - thanks in the main to the local lads driving their motorised tricycle on it yesterday, spinning and throwing up snow. This compacted the snow into ice, on which more snow fell. They didn't come out to help shift it though.

Snowy here...
