A couple of days ago, the subject was Linked In – now it is Snowed In! It doesn’t only happen in the northern US and Canada. England and France got it right in the neck from Scandinavia and Germany.

We’re snowed in with a two-day blizzard. I skidded twice yesterday morning taking my wife to the train. Yesterday night, she stayed with her mother in Rouen to be able to go to work. It will probably be the same tonight.

The snow is being accompanied by 40-knot north-east winds, so it is fairly thin on the roofs and the snow drifts are enormous. We have never had anything like this before! The first two photos are in the back yard (my boat very forlorn in the second). The third is the street just outside our house – snow on sheet ice, wonderful for driving, I don’t think!
