A sprinkling of snow

Snow started falling last night but it was not significantly heavy. We caught it whilst driving back from the Hexham Beekeepers' meeting. It continued to fall until we got home. This morning it was still lying - but only about 1cm on the ground. On the allotment it was little more than a sprinkling. It did not last. By this afternoon, it had been washed away by yet more rain. At least we are not getting the severity that is hitting the South West but we could do with some dry weather sometime soon.
