Well it has finally arrived - the snow first settled on Tuesday last week when we had about 7" in town in one day with a further 2" on Wednesday. Today we have had continuous snow storms from 8am and we are currently looking at about 10".
This is a picture from the supermarket car park. The snow clearing guys had been out to clear the parking lot and there were 12 ft piles of snow at the side of the lot - very tempting to jump in!
Here is the house with fairy lights.
You will be pleased to hear that the truck did very well in the snow and we are very pleased we invested in some winter tyres. The only problem around taking out the car is having to dig the drive clear as we still haven't managed to work out which switches in the garage control the heated driveway! It is certainly a great workout for the shoulders. It is amazing how the road crews work through the night to keep the roads and footpaths clear too.
The kittens have enjoyed their first snow - Harley seems to enjoy running around the garden in the deep snow and Phantom likes to stick his head under the snow!
We have decorated the house in pretty fairy lights - we have chosen LED ice white lights which look really cool. Our next door neighbours have gone for coloured lights but we can't beat their 3 grazing reindeers sat in the garden covered in lights - when we are sure they are out we shall sneak round and take a picture for you!

The weather is not too cold really we are about -3C during the day down to around -11C degrees at night. Although it has been snowing today we have also had some sunshine.

The ski hill opens on Saturday so we are all set to go with our boards waxed.
The party seaon is almost here and it is Rachael's work 'do' on Friday for staff and partners which will be nice - a meal out with beer, wine and presents in the office first. We have also been invited to our neighbours party for some Christmas drinks.

Our night classes have now finished and Rachael has made a sterling silver ring and pendant. Shaun is just awaiting his pots being returned from glaze firing possibly due back at the weekend so as soon as we have everything here we shall take some pictures to show you.
That is all for this week, we hope you are all well and still enjoy reading the blog. I am hoping that next week we shall be able to bring you a new banner heading which will be in keeping with the weather we are enjoying at the moment.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Love Rachael, Shaun, Harley & Phantomxx
