It's a little chilly.

The snow is keeping us at home, not that there is that much of it.

In fact, there is a good deal less than we've had relatively recently.

But the combination of the Beast from the East and Storm Emma has blown the powder snow into some fascinating shapes, some of which are rather too deep to get through.

In places, we have a deep covering of snow and in others, barely a covering at all.  Strangely, in the middle of the kitchen border...

there's a hole.

The geology of our garden holds many secrets.

This morning, though, it can be summed up in one word.
