SNOW
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this is the first snowfall we have had this year in West Sussex? It is quite an unusual sight these days, and by lunchtime the ground had become blanketed in the white stuff and some quite deep drifts had formed in parts of the garden. By mid afternoon with the temperature rising, the snow quickly began to turn to slush.
I had to be quick to catch a photo of the weight of the snow on the white blossom of the Amelanchier which is also known as Snowy Mespilus.
It's been a one day winter-land, which is just how I like it!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week! xx
Perfect plant to illustrate the snow. Nothing like that here-yet. Just a few flurries.
ReplyDeleteaah that looks so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHope the plants survive!
Boo hoo - the snow seems to have missed us here in Wiltshire. Hope you had a good weekend Louise

Beautiful pic Louise....the only problem is if there is too much and it weighs down and cracks the branches...hope it melted right away.
ReplyDeleteWe are jealous, for though the clouds promise us snow they do not deliver. Only sharp hail falls in frozen beads from clouds heavy with the weight of ice.
ReplyDeleteWe love the pictures on your blog. our garden is visited by beautiful goldfinches at the moment.
Love from JAckie and the Ginger cats.
Didn't get any!

we had a good covering of snow too. 3 to 4 inches deep on the outside bench. Our neighbours Amelanchier looked wonderful too, i thought of you. lovely photo.

Well, you certainly do seem to be having unusual weather. Hmmmm, I wonder what is going on.
ReplyDeleteI love your phrase "marsmallow clouds". So descriptive.
What a striking contrast, the red of the flowers against the white of the snow.
Lovely photos.

Hi Louise, just popped over to see if the snow was all gone yet. If it hasn't melted already, then I hope its still as pretty as it is in these pictures...
ReplyDeleteRegards, Lavinia
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhen we were in the grips of our record breaking heatwave (15 days over 35C, but it felt much longer), I adored looking at photos of snow. Even though it's cooler now, I still love looking at pictures of snow.
Thank you!
