TTT SNOW JOKE TTT

 

You might be forgiven for thinking that we had seen the back of the snow at the end of January, but we rejoiced (?) under a further 5 inches of the white stuff on Sunday 21st February. Much of it had melted by the end of the day, but the overnight freeze produced a skating rink to rival anything available to the Winter Olympics in Canada. Get used to it - this is set to see the month out!
