My garden has mainly been getting rain, (hurrah) graupel, hail, sleet and some snow. Although the snow has only settled at higher altitudes above my garden.

Great photos Nik. Thoroughly enjoyable. Doesn't the familiar look so strange when under unaccustomed snow? Even without the mammoth.

I hadn't realised how much snow we had until I had to take my DH to the airport yesterday morning. It was still dark on the journey to Heraklion Airport, but dawn on my return journey. All the way along the road, the mountains had a thick blanket of snow covering them. They looked amazing with the sun coming up behind them. I didn't stop to take photos, but here are a few I took this morning, from my garden.

Looking across the Bay of Mirabello, through the bare branches of my neighbour's walnut tree, to the towns of Aghios Nicholas and Elounda and the mountains behind.

Nik. You always know how much rain you have had in a given period. Is there a web-site you could send me a link to? I would love to know the rainfall for my area.

Thanks. Daisy
