Just a cat in the snow

Woke up to find it had snowed through the night.  Not a great amount but from what I have heard on the news it caused a lot of traffic problems this morning. Tino and Lily were none to keen on venturing outdoors but Lily was bravest and stayed out for a bit.  My extra shots show the view from my front window and Tino looking out at the snow.

I didn't have any need to go out anywhere so I have just spent a day at home.  I got my snow shovel out and cleared the front drive this afternoon.  It was freezing cold.  The temp hasn't gone above zero all day. My weather station has been flashing " Ice Alert " constantly. 

I need to go to Newcastle tomorrow afternoon so I hope road conditions are OK.

Sad news that Alan Rickman has passed away.  He was a great actor.  Same age as David Bowie too.
