Snowmen have sprouted all around town - and one rather lovely snow woman, a snow sculpture which sadly collapsed overnight, before I had chance to take a photo.
On the second day, it snowed more heavily than the first, but it didn't seem to freeze over night. Today has been a day of slow dripping and thawing, but there's still plenty of snow on the ground. Mr Pugh, a near neighbour, measured 10 inches of snow on his back lawn.
Everyone optimistically put out their rubbish on Thursday night as usual, but the bin men haven't made it round yet. The recycling lorry has made it along Broad Street at least, but not up Bear Street or Heol-y-Dwr, where the snow is thicker on the road. We've even had a snowplough in the car park!
I took Islay out for a walk round yesterday around lunchtime. As we trudged past Carlesgate, I saw a man come out of one of the houses, and drive away. When I got to the main car park, there he was, picking up his child from school. It's less than a five minute walk, for Heaven's sake!
Meanwhile, Closing Down Sale signs have appeared in Mark Westwood's windows today. He is the Hay expert on scientific books, though he sells lots of other things as well.
