Storm Arwen brought high winds and snow to Scotland and the north of England over the weekend. It appeared that we had missed the worst of it here but on Sunday morning it started to snow and by mid-afternoon a covering had settled, even in the valley. Some of us still get a little bit excited by snow since it is a relatively rare occurrence here these days. When the blizzard abated I went out for a short walk, ostensibly to post some letters. It was quite pretty everywhere so I walked a little further into the village centre with my phone and took a few photos. The snow was already starting to disappear where people had walked and overnight it will be icy. It's impossible to predict whether that will be our only snowfall of the winter or the precursor of much more. Either way, it's nice to capture the moments in a few photos.
As I recall the only thing which stopped my towpath tours was snow. Of course, there was far more overnight snow in 1962/3 - the ice stopped the canal for months.
ReplyDeleteI loved these, the first and last the most!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks lovely! We had our first snow of the season yesterday too but I'm sure it won't be our last.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. We've had stray flakes and cold temperatures, but not snow in a substantial way.
