Wow!  It looks rather chilly in Yorkshire.  

Snow beginning to melt slowly here - up to 3 deg C this afternoon, so the trees have lost most of their cover.  Definitely not so pretty....

Looks great. Would you like to export a little of the inconvenience down south? Be glad to help you out.

Is it all high up or is there snow down to sea level?

And my brother lives in Rosyth, near the Forth Estuary, about 30 m asl, so there's been a bit of snow lower down nearer the coast too.

Those drifts this morning could hang on a while yet judging by forecasts.

Okay, so we've had some snow lying on the ground since 24th December and it doesn't look as if it is going to shift anytime soon....  It thaws a bit but then we have another shower or two.  The skiing in the Cairngorms would be fantastic this season, but unfortunately with Covid and the lack of the Funicular, it's closed.  Many locals are out and about on cross country skis though.  :-)

There's to be frost overnight and blue skies tomorrow so I should be out and about taking photos.  (Spouse is very patient.) 

 

PS  I've added the links to open in a new window, so clicking on the pictures should make them bigger....  Thanks, Darren.

I took this screen grab from the A939 snow gates earlier today and thought, looking beyond the gates, it may be a while before the road is fully open:

We have quite a bit and some sun today to show it off.
Through the afternoon the wind picked up and you could see snow blowing about higher up which I managed to catch on video - still uploading though we can still only have 0.5mb up speed.

To me it's all rather sad to see us being excited by the kind of snowfall depths we used to see here on Dartmoor at least once a year. I can remember many snowfalls where it was so deep walking was difficult.

Since 2013 or so though, nothing, no snow worth mentioning here ...
