A trifle windy

43 years ago to day it was not windy but it did snow...and snow and snow.  The snow lay on the ground for about 3 weeks and our new born son did not go out for those 3 weeks, our little cul-de-sac road was impassable - and impossible!
Yesterday it blew, was doing so when we woke up was still at it when we fell asleep last night.  I did go out to get a paper and had to cling on to a tree whilst taking this photo.
