Snowpocalypse

Lots of snow here, by the way...


Note how the fence posts disappear underground (due to the loch flooding, freezing, then getting snowed on)....


It was about -15 C when I took this picture this afternoon...


To show how deep it is in our garden... Fergus up to his thighs...



Few hours after it started, I had to get Thomas from school as it was closing. A photo of him leaving the school triumphant...
