Silently and without fuss, 6 inches of snow dropped on Bedfordshire last night.

I discovered this at 5.45 am as I opened my front door to leave for the train and have a good start on the day.

Apparently, the snow came earlier than the gritters had anticipated.

Trains are cancelled, schools closed, a lorry has crashed, and as I write this a snow plough has just passed by my window. I'm impressed - we have a snow plough?!

And the good news is? More on the way.

Well, no use complaining!

Let it snow.....
