I did struggle with the photos - it took a lot of time to get the results here. Haven't watched the weather so closely in a long time.
Vermin King - I enjoy the snow. I wish I was there - I enjoy the snow. No doubt had I been, the dinosaur would have been rushing through snow, leaving small footprints. Or maybe I would have made a polar bear instead!

Looking out of the kitchen window there is my tiny cycad that featured in the pictures. The photos with cycad were taken low down with a tripod looking back towards the window.
Other photos were taken to the right.
