Madeleine's First Snowfall

The so-called "polar blast" has continued, and today we even had snow falling at our house! Steve said that as soon as it started snowing at work, everyone started packing up to head home. The newspapers are full of "survival tips" and one story today suggested everyone wear socks over their shoes if they needed to walk on slippery streets, and eat soup and have hot drinks to keep warm.
We took Madeleine out to see her first snowfall, but she seemed less than impressed with it all.
The weather forecast is for another day or two of colder temps and storms, and then return to normal. It's a strange sight to see our fern tree weighed down by snow!
