Snow today

The snow that has been affecting most of the UK reached us today with about 5" on the ground when we got up. I guess we got away pretty lightly given the volumes of snow that some areas have been getting.
The birds were already on the feeders just before daylight and when I cleared some snow and threw out a few fresh apples, a Mistle Thrush came in to feed.
Also in the garden today were 12 Goldfinch, 9 Chaffinch, 2 Lesser Redpoll, a Dunnock and the GSW, plus 3 Blue Tit, 2 Great Tit and 2 Coal Tit. 

More snow is forecast overnight so it sounds like I'll be out with the shovel again tomorrow.
