We've got snow!

Woke this morning to a total white-out,   clouds down low but it was all white as far as the eye could see.  That actually wasn't very far then,   the Contraviesa,  Sierra Gádor,  Mecina Bombarón,  El Golco,  all totally hidden,  but  after we'd managed to get out the gate through the snow laden palm branches and walked up the road a bit,  looking back down I could see Yátor clearly and all white as well. 

The clouds lifted an hour or so ago,  the sun came out and it's already melting but having checked the forecast there is more to come.  From midday to midnight we have weather warnings of snow here,  and high winds down at the coast....








and this is what it looked like at 9 this morning....







 It was still snowing when we went out,  when I got back John was downstairs making coffee so I took the dogs straight down to him plus 2 old towels to dry the dogs  with.  He'd put the fire on and laid their blanket in front of it for them,  I hung my coat up over the upstairs wood burner to drip dry as the log was still simmering from last night.


The fires are on,  big logs in them which should last all day,  Monty and Pip are doing what they do best,  curled up together in front of the fire on the carpet,   sleeping.
