True Colours Thursday - SNOW WHITE!

When I selected this weeks colour and commented "hopefully not here!", I obviously tempted fate - big time - a bad bad move on my part!
Dreamingspires having escaped the heavy snows that have blighted much of the UK recently, had it's first taste of the WHITE stuff on Tuesday evening.
The flakes were huge...Yesterday morning I woke to a thick blanket of snow & measured 8 inches, a record since 1981 in this city locality!
As the WHITEout is well WHITE, this is my token SNOW shot...And, because my poor sense of balance, brittle bones & inclination to be increasingly accident prone of late, makes me confess to being a total -pants re venturing out in the ice & snow these days, I'm sticking to the photo's I originally planned for this post.

This unusal SNOW WHITE wreath has been decking a neighbours door...
I spotted this window display whilst in Brighton...
While, one of Covered Markets butchers boasts this sign...
And, my final Seasonal cake from The Celebration Cake Shop is perfect too, in view of the local weather - brrr...

Trying to finish on a optimist note - as the Snowdrop, is the most welcome of flowers in January, since it heralds the promise of Spring, another card from my 1930's silk Kensitas Cigarette Collection...In the 'Language of Flowers' the Snowdrop means Hope.
It orininally grew wild in Italy & other parts of Europe, and was introduced to this country around the 15th Centuary.
The botanical name 'Galantus' comes from the Greek 'gala' - milk and 'anthos' - a flower, so means a milk WHITE flower.

To join True Colours Thursday, all you need, is to post a photo/photographs & text, or better still both, on the specified colour of the week.
If you simply want to use the idea as a 'prompt' for a post, as I do now, with many memes, that is fine with me.
But, if, you'd like others including me, to visit you, please leave a comment below, so we know you are 'IN'!
For this meme only, I lift my 'Comment Moderation' to help players connect with each other.
Everyone, who to my knowledge has participated recently, is named in the TCT Roll Call in my side bar.
Next weeks colour is APRICOT as suggested by Doyle & Molly!
And, please remember ideas for forth coming colours would be very welcome!
