Our first proper fall of snow this year and my first opportunity for a number of years (usually in the office) to get out with the camera before the thaw, the children and the cars have ruined the pristine white ...

Looks pretty from indoors, Rob..... but there won't be enough snow for the Girls to build snowmen, i think?

The pic was taken on my front door step. Just out of shot (below the pic) is a large sodium street lamp. This morning, as I set off on my way to work, it was -7oC at 8.15 a.m.
