    Excuse the rubbish photo. I am still learning the dark arts of DSLR picture taking.

    Half eleven this morning in Edinburgh.

    We haven't got snow just yet, but I can see it creeping down the hills, maybe 50M higher than I am currently.

    Eddard Stark was right, Winter IS coming! :D

    All we've had where I live is a bit sleet and hail.

    Hardly ever a decent period of snowy weather anymore. A week on the ground is usually it on the occasions it does snow and thats only because I live on a hill in a semi rural area.

    I'm such a child when it comes to snow.

    Woke up to this today. Looks to be around 3 or so inches. I'll have to go shovel both my driveway and my neighbours (he's elderly), but I don't know how to use my snowblower. DAMN IT!

    **** the snow - I hate driving in it. Why did I decide to live in Scotland and work in the countryside.

    driving in snow doesn't bother me, but watching everyone else does.

    Surely you bought an appropriate car (or truck) that can handle driving in the snow? :D, or fitted winter tyres.

    Just finished shoveling / snow blowing. It was about 4 inches, but its continued to snow, and by the time I finished two drive-ways, there was already almost an inch of snow again. Ughhh

    Glenn, in your photo it looks like the snow is falling upwards. Do you secretly live in Australia?

    Someone else said a similar thing. I suspect that it was a freak gust of wind which itself came up from Australia mate.

    Snow is always fun, until it melts, you need to drive, shovel your drive way or walk somewhere. Well, at least it looks nice from the window.

    Fortunately, yes. Last year it took like 30 minutes to start it for the first time. Just held a space heater on it for 5 minutes, opened up the garage, turned the choke on, full throttle, and electric starter and she started on the 3rd try.

    I made the terrible mistake of shoveling the 2nd time around by hand (it was only a few inches but it was heavy). Back hurts a bit now, but hey, it's done. Saved my dad some time.

    There's a "don't touch the grass sign" in the background, the snow is just obliging and bouncing up again! :D
