So that is where our snow got to! We were forecast snow showers aswell, but got none, it looks like you've had a very heavy fall though.
Wow! A Snipe in the garden!! I thought he was stood by a road Bill not a pool? If he is, then what a bizarre sight that must have been! Did he stay around for long? I doubt many people have one of those on their garden list! Nice photo of him, the Sparrows too, well caught.
