or the answer is always snow?

As Hugh Dennis bashfully informed us, it's sometimes too cold for snow (he studied Geography at university, and seems ashamed of it, since this is supposedly not a 'cool' subject).

Just looked out the window - it has snowed overnight, and very pretty it looks too.

Yes, it's light enough not to be a problem, and cold enough not to just turn to slush.

Though what looks to be not a problem obviously is a problem only 6 miles away.

Dull, misty, very still, damn cold. Probably not quite freezing at the moment (15:32), but near enough for last night's hard frost to still be on the grass in the front garden.

Not quite snow as in White Christmas

Dreich, Dreich, Dreich,
Dreich
It won't be long before we'll all be there with dreich
Dreich
I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with Dreich

Dreich
I long to clear a path and lift a spade of dreich
Dreich
Oh, to see a great big man entirely made of dreich

Where it's dreiching
All winter through
That's where I want to be
Dreichball throwing
That's what I'll do
How I'm longing to ski
Through the dreich-ch-ch-ch-ch

Was a bit blowy overnight. Not sure why we've switched to the Danish name for this storm as opposed to the Irish ones. How are you meant to keep them in order!

Lovely, if suitably chilly, today. After the storms, wind died down, but weather warning for tomorrow.

Since I wrote that, about three hours ago, the weather has changed remarkably. The breeze has more or less disappeared, the clouds have disappeared, and we have sunny, cloudless weather.
