Oops!

Thanks for all those comments!

In fact we were both wrong re blue moons, Marshmarlow! I too thought we had seen a full moon as we headed back from frivolities on New Year's Eve/Hogmanay but presumed it hadn't really been a full moon as H1 told me they were every 28 days and I had googled for the full moon date in January and was told Saturday 30th January and counted back; however I looked up 'blue moon' again and apparently it is the third of 4 full moons in a season (seasons determined by solstices and equinoxes not by months). I prefer the erroneous version of the 2nd full moon in a calendar month even if it is wrong!

Also wrong was the depth of the snow on Friday's overnight fall- it was at least 5 inches not 2!!
