The south of England was hit by a huge snow storm today. That's a lie. We had a brief flurry in the middle of the morning, none of which settled. But it was exciting while it lasted and triggered various conversations about 'getting home from work' and 'will the heating break down'. So we're not yet able to compete with scenes like this from Louis' blog<\/a>. What we got was more like this:

By lunchtime most of the snow had vanished though I was able to photograph a few remaining ice crystals caught on a fence post.

I found the ice by the dewpond I visit. No pond life to see today, unless a floating branch with some small fungi qualifies.

And that was about it photographically for the day. Damp, cold (but not too cold) and overcast sums up the British weather. The last two years have been the warmest on record<\/a>. Which may explain why we had active newts<\/a> in our pond on New Year's Eve!<\/p>\n

Camera note: all shots taken with the EF70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO IS lens. I added a 21mm extension tube for the ice and fungi shots, and used flash.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[153],"class_list":["post-1038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-weather","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t
