3rd February 2009.
There has been a lot of snow in South Wales this year, but fortunately there has been very little in the area where this tree is kept.
This photo was taken after the heaviest fall of the year and as can be seen it is not very deep, and had all melted by late afternoon. There was a couple of other light falls but melted very quickly.
Since Christmas we have had some heavy frosts with temperatures as low as -5 degrees C, but again the soil usually thawed out during the day. This tree has been left outside all winter as there is no room inside. The tree is close to the house as can be seen here and was covered with fleece on the worst night.
