It's cold outside!

 I did not go for a walk today having several outstanding things which claimed priority. I am very good at procrastination! 
The Meteorological Office had issued warnings of heavy snow and plunging temperatures.   
They named it the "Beast from the East". Winds and snow coming from the direction of Russia! 
Here, however, in the Midlands, there were snow flurries during the day, and the biting arctic wind. 
This photo was taken not long after 6.00 pm when the evening was settling in and the light was waning. 
The forecast right now for the next few days:
"Some heavy snow
Bitterly cold winds
Frost and ice." 

Watch this space!
