Not quite snow

i've been really upset this week at the lack of snow in Leicester. It has been quite cold again with most days sitting below 3, and there has been snow in the towns outside leicester. Several mornings I have seen cars driving around with snow on their roofs, but that is the closest i've got.

However this afternoon at mixed hockey training we got caught in a big hail storm, with it hailing so hard that it was hard to see to the other side of the pitch. It came sort of close to snow, at least the pitch ended up white for about 10 minutes. I can't believe that we all continued to play, even though the hail was really hard, and hurt a whole lot when running into it. Hockey players really are a crazy crowd.

I want more snow - if it is going to be this horribly cold it could at least snow and make the world look nice, rather than the sleet, hail and rain we have had. My snow obession just hasn't been satisfied of late. I'll keep hoping and dreaming.
