It snowed for the best part of the night, there was no wind so it hasn't made things impossible. I managed to get into town and 99% of the way back but the last bit of concrete defeated me. It's starting to rain now so I'll see how it goes before getting a machine out to drag the car the last couple of hundred yards.
I like fresh snow, it cheers everything up.
This is the glen road just before it turns into it's impersonation of the Cresta Run. There are a few children at the head of the glen but as the schools are shut the council don't bother ploughing or salting.
I find it quite exciting and have a good ten days of food and tobacco so all is well.
It seems a long while since we last had any proper snow hereabouts.
ReplyDeleteJohn, last year was pretty mild but so far this year we haven't really had too much snow. It has been cold but fortunately not very windy at the same time.
DeleteIt does look very pretty but I like a dash of colour for cheerfulness. That conditioning, I expect. Your van looks pretty darn cold, I hope you stay warm.
ReplyDeletePauline my van is fine on the inside. More snow forecast for tonight.
DeleteSorry I see the old caravan, that's not mine it is junk and waiting to be scrapped properly.
I have a strange feeling that 1987 was when I last saw snow like that here.
ReplyDeleteGraham it is slowly thawing. The roads were very icy this morning but I've known worse.
