Sunday we ‘enjoyed’ the biggest dump of snow this winter in our little corner of England, it delivered more snow than the now infamous Beast from the East…..but being honest we have seen much worse over the years. Yep, I guess we have come off rather lightly.
So Sunday was snowy but also damp and very grey, not a hint of sunshine…
Temperatures were below zero at -4C but that felt even colder with a wind chill of – 5c….. so -9c is damn cold for us That wind did prevent the Lake from freezing so I suppose that is some consolation.

Today Monday much of the snow has gone but has left a legacy of thick ice on the roads. Sunshine is promised for times today and temperatures are due to rise over the week. With Spring due to start tomorrow it would be nice to say goodbye to winter weather.
