Snow

[KS55]

There are hundreds (possibly thousands) of acres of sugar beet growing across East Anglia.

There's a huge manufacturing plant in Bury St Edmunds, probably the biggest employer in the area.

Soon to go? The vale of York abandoned beets as uneconomical. I read somewhere that beet production in the uk was doomed but who really knows.

Doing the night shift with a new puppy, up at 1am, 4am, bloody cold in the garden but the night sky is so clear.

I do know that the Finnish state television channel usually has a humorous end clip on the news (a bit like our ITV - Drop the Dead Donkey etc). Whenever we get a light dusting of snow - an inch or so will do - they take a perverse delight in showing the chaos it causes (Trains cancelled, huge queues on motorways, people slipping on frozen driveways etc).

Snow and ice shut schools as Storm Bert looms

Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice remain in place in the UK as the cold weather continues.

We love a good pun when naming our gritters.

Unbelievably we had half an inch of snow this morning in Bournemouth, of all places!
