Several inches of snow, but at least the temperature's not falling far below freezing at night.

6-8 inches of snow, brassica tunnel has collapsed, could be worse, a new plotholder recently put up a new fruit cage, one of those nice metal frame ones, saw the plot today, and this new cage is looking a little mangled.

Thank goodnes the 'beautiful snow' has all gone here in North Norfolk.  It was so pretty at first but the novelty soon wore off when it became difficult to get about.
Never mind, I can see the garden now and although it all looks a bit shabby it will soon recover and I have got winter aconites out.

We have got to 15th and still several inches to go just hoping broad beans and onions etc. are keeping warm underneath. Usually things come through as long as you give them time.
