I will admit, I love this weather. It makes the estate seem so clean and special. When you walk around as I do crunching in the snow and looking around it is so peaceful from normal. I have actually seen some community spirit, some of the roads and paths have actually be swept away. I would make a plea that Walsall Council does the same as Sandwell and introduce ‘snow champions’.

Walking around at 8 last night, and as the street lights fell upon the snowy scene you could imagine everyone in their homes and actually speaking to each other !

So here are a few photo’s from today, I reckon in places we have had around 25-30cm of snow. At this time of year the last I can remember this bad was when I was at school 30 years ago.

It was good to see on Friday BTW that all three local schools were kept open, more of that please. Anyone of my age (40) will remember many times having to go to school in our moonboots, remember those ??

My child should do the same !!
