Even then it was only for a few hours, after which  we   literally had to dig the car out of the car park and then again out of the   driveway, before retreating home in the heavy snow. As it turned out Thursday was even worse and the roads   into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/crystalherbs.asp\">Crystal Herbs<\/a> were impassable by anything other than a tractor or a snow plough. <\/p>\r\n<div class=\"boxrm\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/CrystalHerbs\/snow\/snow-feb2018-snowplough.jpg\" width=\"209\" height=\"238\" alt=\"Snow Plough Norfolk\" class=\"imageRight\" \/> <div class=\"clear\"><\/div> <p class=\"ft11\" align=\"right\"><em>This was the main Norwich to Ipswich road on Friday morning. There were stationary queues as the wonderful local farmers did their bit clearing the snowdrifts off the road.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\r\n<p>So to Friday&#8230; and although its no longer snowing, there is a lot of wind and its blowing  large snow drifts across the roads. A number of us set off to try and get in this morning, but even some of the main roads were blocked and the two miles of side roads up to Crystal Herbs, where there will have been no gritting or snow ploughs, were again impassable. One of the not so wonderful things about being in the depths of the Norfolk countryside!<\/p>\r\n<h3>Dispatching Your Orders<\/h3>\r\n<p>So as a result we are a little   behind with all of your orders at the moment, for which we very much apologise! However, the good news is that the weather forecast looks a lot better over the weekend and it would seem highly likely that the snow should have mainly melted by Sunday. So on Monday we will all be there getting your orders completed and dispatched for you.<\/p>\r\n<p>We can only apologise for the delay in sending out your orders and thank you for your patience!<\/p>\r\n<p>Below you can see some of the pictures from around Crystal Herbs, taken on Tuesday and Wednesday when we could actually get there!<\/p>\r\n<p>Friday 2nd March 2018<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-3046\" style=\"max-width: 700px;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-99-0 metaslider metaslider-nivo metaslider-3046 ml-slider ms-theme-default\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Winter Snow 2018\" data-width=\"700\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_3046\">\n        <div class='slider-wrapper theme-default'><div class='ribbon'><\/div><div id='metaslider_3046' class='nivoSlider'><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.crystalherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/snow-feb2018-road-700x420.jpg\" height=\"420\" width=\"700\" data-caption=\"Snowy Norfolk roads on the way to Crystal Herbs\" title=\"Snowy Norfolk Roads\" alt=\"Snowy Norfolk Roads leading to Crystal Herbs\" class=\"slider-3046 slide-3061 msDefaultImage\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.crystalherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/snow-feb2018-driveway-700x420.jpg\" height=\"420\" width=\"700\" title=\"snow-feb2018-driveway\" alt=\"Snow in the driveway at Crystal Herbs in south Norfolk\" class=\"slider-3046 slide-3059 msDefaultImage\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.crystalherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/snow-feb2018-crystalherbs-700x420.jpg\" height=\"420\" width=\"700\" title=\"snow-feb2018-crystalherbs\" alt=\"The Crystal Herbs building under a heavy fall of snow in the winter\" class=\"slider-3046 slide-3058 msDefaultImage\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.crystalherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/snow-feb2018-carpark-700x420.jpg\" height=\"420\" width=\"700\" title=\"snow-feb2018-carpark\" alt=\"The Crystal Herbs car park under heavy snow in the winter\" class=\"slider-3046 slide-3057 msDefaultImage\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.crystalherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/snow-feb2018-fields-700x420.jpg\" height=\"420\" width=\"700\" title=\"snow-feb2018-fields\" alt=\"Scene over a snowy Norfolk field with sunlight shining through storm clouds\" class=\"slider-3046 slide-3060 msDefaultImage\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.crystalherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/snow-feb2018-trees-700x420.jpg\" height=\"420\" width=\"700\" title=\"snow-feb2018-trees\" alt=\"Trees around Crystal Herbs in the snow and sun\" class=\"slider-3046 slide-3063 msDefaultImage\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.crystalherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/snow-feb2018-bulbs-700x420.jpg\" height=\"420\" width=\"700\" title=\"snow-feb2018-bulbs\" alt=\"Bulbs emerging from the snow in February in dappled sunlight\" class=\"slider-3046 slide-3056 msDefaultImage\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.crystalherbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/snow-feb2018-sam-700x420.jpg\" height=\"420\" width=\"700\" title=\"snow-feb2018-sam\" alt=\"Picture of Sam Cremnitz standing in the snow outside Crystal Herbs\" class=\"slider-3046 slide-3062 msDefaultImage\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Winter &amp; Snow in South Norfolk &#8211; the Story of Our Week For perhaps the first time ever, we have had to have a &#8216;snow day&#8217; or two here at Crystal Herbs!
