Snowed in

It has been snowing non-stop for two days and more is forecast . The snow ploughs and tractors seem to be fighting a losing battle. We are unsure if it's worth removing the snow from the car because it will just get covered again. Anyway, there aren't any shovels left.

Our car, covered in snow

The locals keep telling us dramatic stories of other abundant snowfalls. Apparently in 1956 it snowed solidly for three months and they survived on potatoes, cheese and butter.

At the moment we are hoping the weather forecast is wrong and the roads will be cleared.

Here's a Winnie-the-Pooh song:

The more it snows , tiddley-pom

The more it goes, tiddley-pom

On snowing

And no- one knows , tiddley-pom

Hiw cold my toes, tiddley-pom

Are growing 

In the meantime, hooray for mulled wine, hot chocolate and rum punch!
