That was the Winter, that was...

Well, what a let down.

I poked my head out of the window last night at about 1.30 am to find that it was snowing properly. Not heavily but a steady amount. Despite the cold, it was melting and it wasn't coming down fast enough to build up over the damp surfaces.

Nonetheless, I retired hopeful. Imagine then, my disappointment when I awoke this morning. Sunny, clear blue skies. Cold, yes, but sunny. And on the ground was the odd sheen of ice. No snow.

I checked outside and it was the same.

It's still cold, but even the arctic wind we were promised hasn't really materialised. Ho hum.

I'm told that the story is a bit different a bit further north, but London is displaying a woeful lack of Wintry bedeckment.
