Snow

Hi,

Well last night I was out rather late having dinner and drinks with some of the my colleagues; it was a really good night even if I did wake up slightly worse for wear.

But when I did wake I kept hearing something fall outside my window every so often; I didn't want to open the window to look as I could tell it was really really cold outside. So once I actually went outside I could see snow everywhere so I think it must have been chunks of snow falling off the roof. I am pretty sure it is the first time in my life I have seen snow or at least in my memory, well I did see a little in Edinburgh one time but when I was there it was so little I think it had dissolved by the time it hit the ground.

Whilst I was outside walking around I kept hearing a strange noise every so often; eventually I worked out that all the buses and some trucks had put chains on their rear wheels to help with grip. The funny thing was even the tiny postie bikes also had chains on their rear wheels; but that makes sense considering the size of the rear wheel.

Actually while I think of it; their was an Earthquake the other day; I think it was a magnitude 4. Honestly I hardly even felt it and went back to what I was doing whilst it kept going.
I know that is definitely the first Earthquake I have ever felt.


I took a few photos, but they are all with my phone so the quality is not very good.
