After some mild, wet days today was bitingly cold and at about 4.30 it began to snow.
The following images were taken at 5pm when it was almost dark but I just wanted to share the initial magic, I’m hoping it will all be gone by tomorrow.
Looking down from the bedroom window
Looking out from the sitting room window.
I didn’t want to go out and spoil the virgin snow with my footsteps, if the snow does remain, I’ll venture out tomorrow.
Wonderful monochrome views, the snow certainly shows up the structure of the garden. This is what we have been told we will wake up to tomorrow!!
By 7.30 pm itwas raining but we will see what happens during the night! Christina
we are waiting for snow here – I am hoping that by Monday it will be gone. Whilst it looks lovely at first it soon becomes a real pain.
Yes, I do agree, we will all have to wait and see! Christina
Pristine! It is neat how it makes your property and the next one across the field look like two islands separated by water…
I love the fresh new snow…I try to not mess it up with my footprints…my best photos are taken from in the house….yours are lovely and your garden likes the snow…at least just a little!
Beautiful! Snow always makes things look so clean and bright and pretty. At least, until it starts to melt.
Your gardens look wonderful in the snow.
It looks beautiful and I expect those are rare views for you. No snow yet for us but cold is forecast.
Most years there is a little snow, last year there was a lot, we were blocked in and the temperatures remained very low for 2 weeks. Christina
Your garden is beautiful in every season. I love this scene too — like Narnia.
We are lucky this time, the snow is melting here already, 10am Friday. But close by there was a lot more snow. Do you still have snow? Christina
I love how the snow picks out the structure of the plants in your garden and your design. We’ve got about 5-6 inches now but there has been more up in the mountains. Hoping to get up their tomorrow to see the snowy scene.
Amazingly about 2 miles away there is still lots of snow on the ground, here it is all gone. Enjoy your walk. Christina
Ah, snow for you too, and your formal garden wears it so well. The heavy frosts were good practice!
Really magical Christina, the formal garden in particular looks wonderful with its light dusting of snow.
I do enjoy the structure of the formal part of the garden more and more. Christina
Hi there Christina, our snow only started about 5pm today – I wonder if you ventured out today. Your garden structure elements come into their own during winter – very pretty indeed. It’s great to see beyond the garden too. Enjoy your winter moments this weekend – stay safe and warm
Just beautiful over your formal garden structure! We actually have the very same dusting of snow today as you did yesterday… just a sprinkling. It is the best kind of snow for highlighting forms in the garden. I hope things have warmed up for you!

Yes, it was a little warmer, warm enough for the snow to melt in the garen so I’m glad I took the photographs even if it was almost dark. Christina
How classical your garden looks in the snow – absolutely beautiful.
It’s beautiful. Interesting to notice how snow accentuates certain features and smooths out others. I was away for several days and entirely missed a light snow here. Susie
Very beautiful, your garden is made for snow. I guess you have our snow because we have none.
This is an outstanding winter garden! Very inspirational! Lovely.
Thank you. Christina
What a wonderful view out of your window Christina – the cypress says Italy to me straight away – a glorious exclamation mark. Hope that the snow heeded your wishes and disappeared as quickly as it came.
Thanks Anna, yes the snow disappeared almost as quickly as it came, we have rain and much milder temperatures again.
Hello Christina, just wanted to check it was you that left a comment on my bird seed trial post. Please take a look here.
Gorgeous…your garden looks stunning in the snow!
Hi Christina! So you had snow too at last! Here it continues raining,I am going mad. Lovely pictures, you have such a beautiful vista from your sitting room! You shall take that picture in full season too.
