We were lucky this year to have snow on the ground for Christmas and the sun was shining too which made it look very seasonal, but last night the thaw started and now most of the snow has gone. There hasn't been any sunshine today it's just been a very grey, gloomy day so where the snow has melted everything looks as though it could do with a jolly good wash.
I don't mind the snow or when the weather is very cold, as long as I am well wrapped up and moving around I am quite happy. This year I have even worn the snow grippers that I bought last winter and they are great for walking on the snow when it has been packed down by others walking on it. They give me a lot more confidence knowing that I am a lot less likely to slip and fall and end up breaking a few bones so I can go out to do the shopping when I need to without worrying. The other advantage is that my back doesn't hurt so much because I am not constantly bracing myself against slipping and using every muscle just to keep upright.
The weather forecast is for some rain and drizzle this week and the temperatures are supposed to stay above freezing for the most part, especially in the South West. Last week they had been forecasting heavy snowfalls for yesterday and today but the wind has moved around so we have been spared that for now at least.
