We got some

Not very deep - but a white christmas is coooool and very very rare these days. These are all from the back garden - playing around with the macro option on the camera for some close up shots of that rare snow.

The snow fell on the 25th too - which makes it all the more special over here. The bookies will have lost a small fortune

That sure must have been a real treat for all of you across the pond!!

VERY nice photo's as well Andy!It looks like the macro is working just fine!

They had snow in Houston Texas the other day and everyone went bonkers over it.It's the first time in about 40-50 years they had snow there!

Thanks and good luck with the photography!!

Seems it was the thing to happen in a lot of places this year. Glad you enjoyed it, those are great pics ... excellent macro work. Cher

...yep, that's -43º F or -41º C. That was Christmas morning... the night before was -46º F. We live in the interior of Alaska.

Kids get to stay home from school when it hits -50º F or colder. They're hoping it gets colder so they can have an extended Chistmas vaction... lol. brrr'rr I hope not!

good heavens jimmy! how do you not get frostbite just stepping outside? plus doesn't it stay dark over there this time of year? i'd have to pack my bags and split!

aqua where in ms are you? i'm in the ms delta and though we just had ice melt here the mosquitos are out again lol. i think it's at 68 and now we are to get rain for a week. i'd much rather have snow than a week of rain - course since that is not gonna happen i can say that lol ;D.
