The news has a cutesy rhyming name for the storm which is bringing so very much snow to these parts. They can keep said name, because it’s stupid.

So, we’ve had the Working In A Snowglobe thing the last few days.

Also, the canal froze a bit.

And then a bit more.

Yes, that’s a road cone.

It’s frozen into the surface.

Apparently one of the folks from work tried walking, or at least standing, on the ice, and didn’t go through.

My street looked like this.

Interestingly, the snow builds up a lot more on my side street than on the main road, possibly because it’s light powdery stuff this time, so it gets blown away?

Aylesbury Vale Parkway & Aylesbury stations, as seen on my morning commute.
