An unexpected visitor from the Arctic

Well, so much for March coming 'in like a lion out like a lamb'.

No-one seems to have mentioned that a polar bear might drop by to visit in between...

I looked around  in vain for the normally ultra-reliable Duthie Park snow plough yesterday morning.

It turned up just as we were heading home. We think the driver, normally so diligent and up at the crack of dawn, had imagined winter was over and allowed himself a lie in!

  1. You were busy making tracks before the plough arrived! F loves the snow on your beard (in fact I suspect she has taken a shine to you generally old chap - you always look like you have found something of interest.) Paw smacks Mr T

  3. Now that's proper snow, not like the wimpy stuff we've got here.
    I like your smart blue coat, Nobby - very becoming.

  7. OMDs Nobby you had such lovely weather at the Cottage. I know this unexpected blast from the North was a rude awakening to you and Gail
    That is a lovely patch of blue sky thought

  8. You got quite a bit of snow, Nobby. We love playing in the snow and have been sad with how little snow we've gotten this year.

  9. Nobby, it looks beautiful out there, and weren't you lucky to be making the first tracks through virgin snow!
    I've never seen snow, but Carol says it can be cold and wet and get stuck to paws and tummy fur and be quite uncomfortable. She remembers her first Lab. Sultan used to love rolling around when there was enough snow, but that was when they lived in a place called England, which I've only heard about! I wonder if I'd like snow, but I gather we're not going anywhere to find out. Today it's a lovely sunny 23ÂșC, and that's how Carol likes it!
    I can only look at your photos with envy!
    Love,
    Indy xx

  12. A late season snow is so much fun, especially because it should melt quickly.

  13. We once had over a foot of snow...a few days after it had been 80F and all the tulips were blooming...they got smashed:(
    It was in April!!!

    Did you romp in it, Nobby? We are supposed to get another big dump of snow on Friday...
