As it looks though you are snowbound John - pamper yourself in your cosy cottage - I can't get out safely either but get a bit anxious - The fires lit - dogs are still sleeping and I'm lazily watching Frasier Crane in my cuddly hoodie x ❄🍵🌨
When you say 'up' do you mean as in leaving the cottage, or were you trying to get home? Speaking as someone who lives somewhere with many hills. Either way, keep warm!
The cottage lies on a lane which runs down from the church to the felin which is a small valley where the mill used to be . There is a climb up to the main road which is only 100 yards away but with the climb, the road becomes treacherous in icy weather and no cars can get up to the main road
Snowing gently here, but it's been too wet to stick. If I were you I'd snuggle up at home with some furry hot water bottles, a big bowl of soup and an old film. Do you have to go to work today? Hope not. xx
In the picture you look like a BBC Wales reporter: "This is John Gray in a very snowy Trelawnyd, North Wales" ...before you slip over and fall down on your muscular Grecian ass.
Hubby and I learned a word new to us last night, or a new usage anyway, for when someone is being an asshole. It's "assy." We thought we'd adopt it and look, here's my first opportunity to use it! -Kate
Your picture reminds me of when I was snowed in when I lived in a remote village in Northants. Nothing to do but hunker down John and wait for it to go. We had snow yesterday, but no where near what you had which was fortunate as I had a hospital appointment the other side of Tiverton 26 miles away. Relax and enjoy an eforced few days at home as I can't see that lot shifting anytime soon.
The roads finally cleared late afternoon, but if it freezes again the lane will be impassable at 6 am I’ve had a holiday day tomorrow which is lovely as I have lots of written work to do
If you can't get to work - stoke up the fire - let the dogs out into the garden for toilet business, make one of your delicious- sounding soups and take it easy!
Well we were promised snow, and as we headed back from Manchester yesterday it was chasing us up the motorway for about ten minutes ... and then nothing. Yours looks beautiful, I hope you can stay warm and cosy at home with the animals and enjoy your snow day.
By Massachusetts standards, it looks like you've got a proper late season snow storm there. Ideally, you'll do a safe trek home and wait out the storm.
Don't know where my comment has gone, maybe I forgot to press publish! I just told you to stay inside, with the furry hot water bottles, a big bowl of soup and an old film. xx
I was slightly disappointed that the extra overnight snow, then turned to steady rain for much of the day. Apparently though - back to snow tonight and tomorrow? We shall see if we are in the Amber Warning area (look to be on the edge). I did think of you, as like us, it doesn't take much snow to keep you housebound - or certainly, not able to go out in the car.
Well your face says it all “who the f**k dumped all this white stuff”. Know how you feel, it’s too cold, windy and not weather to be outside so huddle down with your fur buddies and keep warm. Jan in Castle Gresley
The trouble is when snow is the exception rather than the norm, the infrastructure doesn’t work. In climates with a lot of snow people change to winter tyres - makes a huge difference. Enjoy your day off.
I noticed in the evening that our yellow warning had changed to amber. It looks pretty but is a pain if you have to get to work etc.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been able to take an annual leave for tomorrow’s shift
DeleteIn AUS we have emergent leave for situations like this where you can’t get to work.

DeleteAre you in Greenland? Sorry to tell you but we down here on south coast are enjoying a late, balmy Spring. (Ah, but will it stay?)
ReplyDeleteBugger raymondo
DeleteI am so missing spring x
We had snow but nothing like in your picture. Elsie had a gambol and then began eating it.
ReplyDeleteRoger just barked at it and skipped
DeleteYour face says it all.
ReplyDeleteI was somewhat shocked

ReplyDeleteNo, I’m working tomorrow and have taken an annual leave day
DeleteIn the picture you look like a BBC Wales reporter: "This is John Gray in a very snowy Trelawnyd, North Wales" ...before you slip over and fall down on your muscular Grecian ass.
ReplyDelete"Muscular Grecian ass?" Yiu've obviously not seen John's ass in real life!

DeleteAnon, I have a taut , rather attractive bottom
DeleteAny chance of photos of aforesaid booty? I'm sure Mrs Trellis would do the honours.

Hunker down and stay safe! Heroics in the short term not needed - think of the long term. Stay warm and well. Hunkering down in Yorkshire as well!
ReplyDeleteMy friends in Sheffield said it’s snowing hard there too
DeleteIf you can't get to work - stoke up the fire - let the dogs out into the garden for toilet business, make one of your delicious- sounding soups and take it easy!
ReplyDeleteWise words pat…the dogs had a runaround in the garden then pooed in the kitchen
DeletePop over to Belfast. No snow as yet.
ReplyDeleteLike Mrs doubtfire, it’s on the way x
DeleteHey, looks just like Canada!
ReplyDeleteHey, I was just going to say that...we have had massive amounts of snow this winter...Take care John
DeleteJust to think we had a sunny day for auntie glad’s funeral
DeleteWell we were promised snow, and as we headed back from Manchester yesterday it was chasing us up the motorway for about ten minutes ... and then nothing. Yours looks beautiful, I hope you can stay warm and cosy at home with the animals and enjoy your snow day.
ReplyDeleteThere is an icy blast coming through the letter box. I’m jammed some underpants in it
DeleteThere's a lot of goings on regarding undercrackers at your cottage it seems to me John x 👘
DeleteGosh I hope you didn't use one of your new pairs. ;-)
DeleteWe might get some snow this evening too. Stay safe and warm, John.
ReplyDeleteI’m on the couch now , with my scarf still on covered by roger
DeleteI think that picture says it all.
ReplyDeleteI was so shocked and pissed off lol
DeleteBy Massachusetts standards, it looks like you've got a proper late season snow storm there. Ideally, you'll do a safe trek home and wait out the storm.
ReplyDeleteSeveral of the people who live down our lane have now left their cars by the church
DeleteOh dear! We've got the same here, with an ocean between us.
ReplyDeleteLol x
DeleteHoly crap that is a lot of snow for March. we are supposed to get some tonight into tomorrow too. I am thinking a work from home day is in order.
ReplyDeleteI’m having a home day tomorrow….Sod’s law the snow will be gone by then
DeleteBloody hell indeed! You got a lot more than us (as the forecasters said you would). Your face says it all.
ReplyDeleteI was sooo pissed off
DeleteYou look sooooooo cold! In my part of London it is very cold and wet and the grass is very green. x
ReplyDeleteI was bloody cold !, lol
DeleteI find the snow loverly since we have none and I don't have to go out in it!
ReplyDeleteSleet in Southport !!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I live in Southport, too. Small world! xx
DeleteBulldogs hate the snow , it’s the nipples
DeleteOh my goodness. Love the photo, thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteIt’s the kind of WET snow that freezes and soaks u
DeleteDon't know where my comment has gone, maybe I forgot to press publish! I just told you to stay inside, with the furry hot water bottles, a big bowl of soup and an old film. xx
ReplyDeleteSee above x
DeleteBrrrrr! Hope you're reading these comment from your lovely, warm, and cozy cottage. You have a soup day, indded.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
No soup today, I didn’t have time, but I did have a fish pie from the freezer
DeleteI supposed you got it as you are at a greater altitude.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and stay home!

ReplyDeleteUsually it only lasts 24 hours here
DeleteI remember days like that. From here, it looks magnificent. Not so from there I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteOh to be in Spain

ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful. But you look so cold!
ReplyDeleteYou looked totally fed up and frozen so I hope that today you're settled in in comfort and can enjoy the snow from the inside of the house.
ReplyDeleteI was feeling awful
