Rather unexpectedly, we had another 4 inches of snow today. It shows how used to snow we have become over the last couple of weeks that Rob didn't even bother to wake me to tell me that it was snowing this morning. I got up about an hour later, and there was already over an inch of fresh fallen snow. So we went out for a walk in it.
Lesson 1: if you do not put your gaiters on, snow will get down your boots.
Lesson 2: it is possible to fashion a set of temporary gaiters out of gaffer tape round the tops of your boots.
Lesson 3: people might give your feet funny looks in the pub later when you stop for a drink on the way home.
The snow is turning brown, slushy and nasty in town and my walk to work each day is not much fun, but out on the hills there is still proper snow and rather deep snowdrifts. We had a great time on Saturday on Crompton Moor, although it was rather hard going at times...
