The Push Creativity Igloo... and more
by Angela Montague
We've had some EXTREME weather here in Lincolnshire (England) with temperatures at -16 and 18 inches of snow.
The old folks are saying it has not been this bad since the legendary winter of 1947, so I am expecting to talk about this winter well into my dotage.
For us this is a time of rare beauty; we even caught some diamond dust clouds last night! It's also a time of growing inconvenience as side roads and pavements are covered in thick ice, schools are closed for days at a time, and the Lincoln Christmas Market is cancelled for the first time in 28 years; a major event that should have brought 150,000 people (and their purses) into the city.
But let's go back to the beauty. Here are some photographs taken this weekend:

| This is no illusion, the snow is that high |
 |
| The tree has bent double with the weight of the snow, its topmost branches scraping the floor |

OK, they cheated and knelt down... but still

| This is what 18 inches looks like! |

| Nice day for a picnic |

| Deep and Crisp and Even, don't you think? |
