To celebrate the first settled snow in London this year (almost all melted already by noon), I’m posting a link to some really pretty pictures of snowflakes.

Like whistles, no two snowflakes are exactly the same.
If you still have snow just laying about unused, get down on your hands & knees and take a close look! I kid you not.
Denmark had a lot of snow this weekend, at least by Danish standards. Sunday saw me + my family having just started on a 150 km car trip to get home when a snow storm hit the country. What should have been a 1½ hour drive instead became a 4 hour one. We narrowly escaped going off the road a couple of times (even when practicing extremely careful driving), but we finally made it home. Several hundred other car drivers weren’t so lucky on Sunday…
Anyway, bicycle driving in Copenhagen among huge walls of piled up snow is quite an adventure - not something we’re used to!

Snow’s melted off around here for the time being, but I believe you.
Just wondering, did you pull out of the transcontinental detectiving business?

We have some snow. I went out in the yard and found these two. They look the same to me.

Walden: No, I still do the detecting, got a big case on at the moment (The Adventure of the Second Snowflake) but those clowns have really got me scared bug-eyed, you know?
SteveK: I think one of those snowflakes was delivered to the wrong London! Durned post office!
Out of interest, how many flakes did you check before you found two the same? I reckon the odds of winning the UK National Lottery (now inventively renamed Lotto…ahem) are better!
