Last night saw the first snow to lie here where I live this Winter. It was only -2 °c last night but it’s only reaching about 5°c during the day.
This was my display area this morning. As you can see the snow was light and I only had one tree remaining on the bench, a stubborn Trident Maple that is refusing to drop leaves! This might make it’s mind up 🙂

Ian, how often do you get snow there? I know you’re farther north than I am, but you have the Gulf Stream to moderate things.
We’ve been to Ireland in late winter/early spring on a couple of our visits. Saw snow on the hills around Shannon Int’l one time; that was it.

Our last 2 Winters have been the worst ones in a long time. For the 10 years before that, we rarely had snow other than on high ground. The gulf stream makes a big difference, but we get a lot of rain too. That’s why it’s called the emerald Isle 🙂
