Snow has fallen ...

... snow on snow ...
... and I missed the midnight deadline by about five seconds!  So, two posts that will say "Saturday" though this one is being done just after midnight on Friday!
We woke to a lot of snow this morning and all day it has continued to fall.  Soft, powdery, extremely white and very cold!  What's more ... we have an "Emergency Flash Warning" for tomorrow.

 Upstairs the welcome arch (Swedish bridge) gives a comforting glow.

 The real candles downstairs do the same thing!

Either way, you need something cheery on a day like this.  Hardly any traffic used the Park today - the surface was packed snow and very icy.

 For much of the day snow kept falling.

 Of course it was beautiful ...

 I think Eliot was more interested in the snowman next door than in the interesting patterns that the snow made on the various bushes.

The little fir tree caught my attention as I wandered around with the camera under an umbrella!  It was a white umbrella so that it didn't cast any kind of coloured shadow on the snow.
So, we have a white world at present.  No further snow just now but the forecast suggests that there are fresh supplies on the way.  Meanwhile, with a good fire and a few warm jumpers, life is cosy enough!

O come, thou Wisdom from above
who ord'rest all things through thy love;
to us the path of knowledge show
and teach us in her ways to go.
