Although it’s winter, when sleet or snow would have been more normal, we’ve had a surprising number of summery-type storms, where small hail falls. Not for long, but often.
The horses don’t like it, but it doesn’t do any actual damage, so I just enjoy the visual effect while it lasts.
My naturalised snowflake bulbs – which I called ‘snowdrops’ as a child – seem to be made for such a white dotted setting.
They don’t often get the chance for a real snow backdrop.
