Photo of the day: The long walk home.My ruler is officially too short for measuring the snow outside, which is now well into the feet instead of inches.
More snow fell overnight, adding to the icy compacted layer here since Wednesday last week. I guess we must be talking about 20 inches on my patio now. Last night also saw flashes of lightning, particularly near the coast.

Such severe weather means stocking up on supplies (microwave meals and lager) whenever the opportunity arises, so I wandered down town during a break in the weather. All of the roads in my photos are what I'd consider to be important through-routes:

East down Greensfield Avenue.
North along Blakelaw Road.
Fallen tree at the side of The Dunterns/Hope House Lane.
The same fallen tree blocks the Dukes School gate.
North down Hope House Lane.
The Market Place, with the next blizzard just starting.
Bondgate Within. This exact spot is where thesnow piles and trucks were yesterday.
Looking west up Swansfield Park Road.
A nasty surprise awaits Co-Op shoppers on Victoria Road.
