There's no time like snow time.

Not as much snow as there was at this time last year but enough to brighten life up just a little.
For my British Isles friends.... notice those two red poles? They have been erected, along with thousands more, by the councils to mark the edges of the roads all over the country. There is enough snow even now that one wouldn't know where the road ends and the verge/ditch starts. These markers serve to protect motorists from straying off into the really soft stuff. Note also how tall they are. Some years the snow almost reaches the tops. 
It pays to be prepared. Just like the boy scouts!
