<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, we’ve had the Working In A Snowglobe <\/i>thing the last few days.<\/p>\n

Also, the canal froze a bit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And then a bit more.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yes, that’s a road cone.<\/p>\n

It’s frozen into the surface.<\/p>\n

Apparently one of the folks from work tried walking, or at least standing, on the ice, and didn’t go through.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My street looked like this.<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Aylesbury Vale Parkway & Aylesbury stations, as seen on my morning commute.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The canal is now really <\/b>frozen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Though the statue of Ronnie Barker seems fairly chill about the whole snowfall thing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s not building up much because the snow is so light and dry. It’ll collect in low drifts, but only if there’s something to build up against.<\/p>\n

The flat-roofed building opposite work was almost free of snow, except where dunes built up on an obstruction.<\/p>\n

Reminds me of the snow you’d get on Mt. Ruapehu, where aside from the ground cover, the drifts are either in front of or behind an object, and you could watch the wind pick up streams of ice crystals & carry them around in long tendrils.<\/p>\n

Speaking of snow drifts;<\/p>\n
