The raindrops on the bird feeder caught the light and my eye from the kitchen from where I took the photo as the rain was very heavy this morning.

We had snow for two minutes this afternoon and then the sun came out briefly and turned some clouds a beautiful peachy colour.

There was a Buzzard in the field behind us this afternoon, busy tearing something up and then hopping into the air and landing again to appear to be digging. We think there must have been field mice in the area. I took many photos, all on a long zoom and all a bit fuzzy. Here it has just landed after one of its hops.

Lovely pictures!We are in the middle of a winter storm that turned into a blizzard. So your comment that it snowed for two minutes made me chuckle!

Looks like I spoke too soon! We went to Eden today and as we were leaving the snow suddenly fell from the sky! 3″ in no time at all so we couldn’t leave and 30/40 people are stuck there overnight. I left my car in the car park and my daughter in her 4×4 brought me home! 🙂

Question. Is 3 inches a lot of snow at one time? Do you have snow plows and such to clear the roads?

3″ is a huge amount for Cornwall! It took everyone by surprise. We are not properly equipped for snow! Snow ploughs are a rarity and the roads and lanes are mostly quite narrow – not a good mix! 🙂

That is like our Southern states. They are not equipped. I live in the Northeast where we are equipped for heavy snow. But if you do not have the plows and salt it would be a dangerous trip!

It was and we saw so many abandoned vehicles on our way home. It’s all gone now – it doesn’t last long in Cornwall. 🙂

Glad you got home safely. We are having odd winter weather. We will get a storm with a couple feet of snow. Then a few days later it warms up and melts!
