Contrasts

What a day of contrasts. Cousteau-cub called in the morning to say they had had a couple of inches of snow. We were seeing the odd flake, but there was no real threat. Urban-cub also phoned and said that football had been cancelled in the Lewes area.

As the day progressed, we saw clouds marching across the skies punctuated by bright sunshine. The clouds occasionally threatened a few snowflakes, occasionally dumped snow, then again then sun would burst through and everything would clear in minutes. As the GF sits watching the Carling Cup Final, in brilliant sunshine, he reflects that 10 minutes ago he couldn't see the end of the garden through the snow, and teh temperature outside plummeted 4C in the space of a few minutes.
