Planned ride to mum's aborted because of snow...

I was planning to meet Bon on Woodmansterne Green this morning, but when I looked out I could see the snow was coming. It started quietly, invisibly almost, but it was there, and soon I received a text from Bon suggesting we abort. We did. And now the snow is really coming down out there, the cars and slowly being covered, the lawns front and back are now white and it looks like a day of keeping warm, watching more television that I'm used to and, well, eating.

The weather forecasters are saying the snow is going to settle, meaning a ride tomorrow will be out of the question, but never say never.

Two weeks without a ride can't be good, but I might get out for a walk if the snow stops falling, although it looks as if it's going to snow all day.

The shot on the right is of my back garden. As you can see the snow is sticking around on the lawn, but it's not on the roads, which is good news. However, I reckon if the snow continues all day (as forecasted) then it might well cover the roads by tomorrow morning.

My Specialized Rockhopper is keeping warm in the garage and will probably remain there all weekend, as it did last weekend. But next week? Let's hope we all get on our bikes.
