Surprise!

Strange how we're always surprised to wake up to find snow on the ground, even in January.

I didn't have time to take any photos before I left this morning but managed to take a few shots of the church when I arrived. Not too many made it for Mass, understandably. The car park was quite treacherous but luckily there was some rock salt to use on the worst areas which quickly melted the snow.

The main roads are all clear this evening but it's beginning to freeze again so dangerous conditions for driving. Our road, like most cul-de-sacs, is like an ice rink as it doesn't get gritted by the council and doesn't have the volume of traffic to melt the snow.

We're off to the theatre tomorrow evening so hope the weather improves before then.
