1884
"Bushes and short trees blown like the flame of a candle. Long-tailed tits on dead stems of willow herb 4ft. high. Rushes, half dead, half green.
"Never go for a walk in the fields without seeing one thing at least however small to give me hope, the frond of a fern among dead leaves." Richard Jeffries, 1884 (Sussex)

Here in Cambs., on the 8th January, 2010:

We started the day at around -3C, with snow for the crescent moon to shine on, and then we had snow, and then blue skies, and another flurry of snow, and then blue skies, and on into the night...Byslantedlight, 2010 (Cambs.)

I didn't get out and take photos earlier, and the day is over already... all grey cloud, and a few soft drops of rain. Byslantedlight, 2012 (Cambs.)
