What happened to the snow?

So much for the 10cm of snow we were expecting last night! There I was, more prepared than ever and woke up to just a scattering of snow...

I must admit, I'm quite happy we didn't have much as I wouldn't want my plans to be scuppered for a 2nd weekend running!

Have a good weekend all.
