    But obviously with the heating off so you can wear the new jacket! Hope you are ok and the snow goes soon, we've not really got any - wee blustry flurry here and there but not lying. xx

    Enjoy the new jacket :)

    Our snow is lying, but its pretty thin. Temp not rising above freezing today, so I think it will turn to ice, which is very "oops".

    Hoping you don't have to venture out in the snow today.

    Really appreciate how difficult these situations are, how vulnerable it makes you feel and how at times which is so difficult to convey to others.

    Hugs and love

    Ventured out gingerly.
    Not as bad as I thought.
    Snow and very cold.
    Very windy last night.
    Was very glad of my cosy jacket though :)
    The snow on the car was very soft & moved very easily :j

    Really pleased you treated yourself to a new jacket :) No snow here just rain. Glad your snow is not too bad, I'm dreading it getting icy more than anything, not sure what I'll do if it does.
