There's been a lot of snow in the UK over the last few week. Apparently we've not had snow like this in 18 years. The whole of the South East of England pretty much shut down - London was almost empty, and I had a day working from home.
On Sunday last week it all started and I went out with my girlfriend and built a snowman, in fact over the two days of non-stop snow we managed to build three snowmen, each one taller than the one before.
I am lucky to live very near (opposite) a park which was perfectly covered in snow and on the Tuesday Jo went out and took a whole bunch of photos. In fact she got a little carried away and took just short of 500 of them.
Unfortunately the snow has now stopped and we have to put up with the icy grey slush but below is a small reminder of what it was like at it's most beautiful.
There's more snow forecast for this evening and tomorrow so maybe there will be some extra photos next weekend

It wasn't just the South East. I live in Bristol and we were pretty much shut down for a few days. I only made it to work two days last week.
Fortunately, it was great for going out and taking photos (you can see some I took around Bristol in my Snow Set on flickr). I went out with a friend on Friday afternoon and the snow was knee deep in places. Absolutely crazy, and probably (hopefully) isn't over yet!
Your shots are reminiscent of the scenes I woke up to last week. There's just something about snow.
I'm down in Kent at the moment at university, and much fun was had thanks to the blessings of snow. I went from being angry at my rugby training being called off to rolling around on the floor laughing in about 10 minutes: we put a giant snowball on a shopping trolley and tied it to a car using a Dyson vacuum cleaner lead. Burnout eat your heart out.
Can't wait for the rest of it! And Canterbury cathedral did look brilliant
