Amazing NASA photo

Just found this amazing photo taken by the NASA MODIS Rapid Response System. At 11:50am today (Jan 7th 2010) the MODIS system returned this image of the UK. I’ve never seen such a high percentage of the mainland covered by snow and ice.

Porthleven in the snow

Well as I was unable to get into work today I thought I would get out and take a few photos.  Here are a few taken from around the harbour area plus 3 quick snaps from outside the house showing the amount of snow still falling, not bad for Southerly Cornwall.
