Hi All,
There are many lovely photographs on this thread but several show no indication of where they were taken. I look at a photo and think that looks a nice place but, without knowing where it is, I cannot persuade my daughter to take myself and the good lady for a personal view.

Looking at these snow scenes almost makes me homesick, almost. We had snow last year, first for 97 years, schools closed to give children the chance to enjoy the view. Picture of the snowman on the front wall.

A bit off topic, but this IS snow in Buffalo NY, which is only 75 miles from my home. They are in the snow belt and receive lake effect snows...

On Monday morning driving to work, suddenly the rain turned to snow and I had four flakes (only small ones) on my windscreen, before I could photograph them the automatic rain sensor windscreen wiper removed them. Dart!!

Sheldontony (Post #22),

Only once since we moved to Crete in 2005 have we seen a decent coating of snow at sea level and that lasted about two days. We're up in one of the villages at 800 ft a.s.l. near Neapoli and had that same snowfall about four years ago, otherwise just a sprinkling on three occasions. However, two miles up into the mountains at 3000 ft a.s.l. and just two miles further inland and we've seen snow still not gone until June.

This year, courtesy of Lidl, we've seen turnips for the first time, though I realise many people don't like them. More Brussels sprouts about this year too in a few of the Greek supermarkets as well as Lidl and the British Food Shop importing them.
