First snow.

It's snowing in London. First snow of the year. Went out in it, accidentally, not realising, struck by the wonder as I stepped outside. It is light. It will probably get heavier. It probably won't look like this, the first snow of last year, in Dublin:

First snowflakes of the year in Dublin, Ireland. 6th February 2018.

Snowing in Portobello, Dublin. 6th February 2018.

It probably won't look like this, a few days later in Roscommon:

Snow around a lake in Roscommon, Ireland. 11th February 2018.

Or this:

Narnia, or Roscommon. 11th February 2018.

Or this, later the same day, still in Roscommon:

I probably won't wake up tomorrow to this, as I did then:

Snowy forest, Roscommon, Ireland. 12th February 2018.

But still. It's beautiful. It's magical. It's free. It's snow.
