I took some photos earlier from my hospital room of the snow coming down
in Barnsley today - I'll download them and post them up tomorrow.

Driving home on the country roads, there was so much I couldn't see more than a few feet in front of me. It's worse than fog even. Ghastly stuff.

Here ya go TT, this was Barnsley, at about 11am on Friday Didnt settle
though, and ten minutes later there was bright sunshine again!



This was the field behind our cottage at about 10am today:



but as you can see, its a gorgeous sunny day up here, so by the time the
train went by just before noon, the field looked like this - the only bits left
with any 'snow' are where the sun hasnt been yet.



Any one else got any pics of the snow where they are? I was abit disappointed
with how little we got here last night

Are you sure you havn't been doing 88mph in flopsy? Those last two pictures look like you've gone back in time. What a good view! and a steam train as well!

lol, cheers Dan

The two tracks across the field were done last week by our Landlords 'oppo'
in his SWB Land Rover (a proper 4x4 :wink: ) - there was a broken section
of the big oak tree just hanging in the branches, so he tied a thick boden
cable to the back of the Landie, attached it to the tree, and hey presto the
nice thick section of Oak Tree (must be nearly a ton in weight) came crashing
down. What we didnt expect, was what happened next - he 'floored it' and
dragged the bit of tree across the field - must have been doing about 30,
it was so funny to watch - boys and their toys eh!! :lol: So, we set to the
bit of tree that he delivered us with the chainsaw, and have continued to
enjoy burning seasoned logs on the fires, absolutely free We've been
burning it all this week, and reckon there's enough there to keep us going
for most of this month too - it looks quite small in this picture, but the big
section at the far end, that we've not tackled yet, is about 2ft across!



The steam trains are cool, the Midlands Light Railway runs past the back
of our house, they run pretty much every weekend and also throughout
the school holidays http://www.midlandrailwaycentre.co.uk/English/home.html

Perhaps a good setting for a DeLorean meet one day this summer?

I was up near Ripley in July for a motorcycle weekend. Some of the scenery up there is stunning, and some lovely roads to ride round on the bikes.

[Tourettes Tony]
