Snow (at long last!)

For a few days now the forecasters and weather people have been making a great to do about the vast amounts of snow that has been falling on the continent. They have also been telling us that the temperatures have fallen very low indeed. People have been dying of hypothermia.

Over the last couple of days we have been getting yellow warnings, then upgraded to orange warnings, that snow was on its way, and finally today it has arrived. Not huge amounts, but it has been continually falling since just after 12.00 mid day. It doesn't seem to be the stuff that piles up to any great depth, but it has been a continuous downpour of very wet tiny flakes.


I grabbed the camera a few minutes ago and got these shots......

The view up the fields - the horizon completely lost in the fine snowflakes.

Somehwere out there on the far horizon (if you could see it) is Bingley Moor, the caravan park at the top of Shipley Glen and Dick Hudsons!

I can't remember the last time I saw children with sledges!
