Before the Thaw 2

This is what our hallway has looked like for the last 2 weeks. Actually, that's not true, this is the tidy version! And I'm embarassed about the chipped paint... but I'll be too busy cleaning windows to worry about paint!

This is the blacked-out velux in my kitchen... there will have to be serious window cleaning before Christmas Day...

No basketball practice going on this week!

And we won't be having any picnics or barbeques for a while!

! I'm fed up of it now (can't believe I wrote that!), every journey is a misery, the footpaths are treacherously icy, main roads are fine but on side roads it's like driving through a ploughed field, with ice underneath.

But, all said, it has been magical, and 2 weeks of it has not made me fall out of love with snow, just I prefer when it's fresh, not icy.
