First Snow

It rained heavily all night and was still raining this morning and so we didn't really believe that we would get the forecast snow.

However, large sleety flakes started to fall during the morning and when I left the Bargain Loft to collect David at lunchtime (the beginning of his Thanksgiving holiday), it was snowing hard and pitching too.

The leaves were covered ..,

The trees too..

In the back garden all was still and white and the new bird bath was distinctly slushy..

David took a few photos of the birds as they stocked up for the night..
