I diligently shovelled off all the driveway, and the paths in front of our property; I tried to chivvy the girls into helping, but they only seemed interested in shovelling the snow into their mouths.

The first picture shows the pristine beauty of the snow; the last illustrates the result of my labours. We were, of course, just being lulled into over-confidence in our snow-shovelling ability...
