Sorry, mate, it stopped at an inch (but there's more on the
hills!).
But the strangest thing.... there was the best part of a gale
blowing this morning and I could not work out what had left the
strange tracks on the road.
Then the penny dropped. The wind has formed snow balls, one a
good six inches in diameter, leaving those strange trails. I
never saw that before.
Other than that, I have a wild mallard and a hen pheasant in the
pot and when this bottle of Californian Red runs out (it's more
than half empty -- or less than half full, depending on your
political leanings), I have another warming by the wood burner!!
Have a good Christmas, everyone!!
(I wonder if Mr Nice is stuck in a drift somewhere in
Aberdeenshire? If he isn't, it's a damned shame after all his
preparations!!<vbg>)
