First snow of the season

It is just about winter time now. Our sunny weekend in Perthshire turned out to be the swan song of the autumn. The beginning of the week was unremittingly dreich and grey, and the weather has now turned distinctly colder. On Friday morning the first snow fell on Glasgow. At first it was just sleet but it got thicker and heavier and soon we had a proper snowfall. The pupils were very excited so we all went over to the window for a proper look and thought of adjectives to describe the winter weather.
