Snow and Snow

More snow fell during the night, making the garden particularly beautiful this morning, though not exactly helping the free movement of traffic.
My first task after breakfast was to cancel a meeting of the Western Area Partnership tonight in order to avoid people having to drive out to Long Newton in the dark, snow, ice or whatever else the weather decided to throw at us.  Lots of phone calls later it was too late to set off for my first meeting of the day but just time to squeeze in an extra visit to cover for someone who was snow-bound.
The most important session was a meeting to thrash out the detail of recommendations coming from the recent review carried out by the Environment committee.  Trying to decide on savings to make is never easy and this was no exception.  There are several stages to go yet before they are finalised and none of them is going to be easy either!
