Snow stops the job

We awoke this morning to 3 or 4 inches of snow and the weather did it's best to snow off and on all day.

After shifting it we headed to ASDA.
I kept a peeper out for Waxwings, but ASDA car park doesn't seem to have the right berries.

While in ASDA the snow made a comeback.

Coming out of ASDA car park, a car driver with snow covered windscreen failed to see us - no surprise there then - and we anchored on, and all was well.

Coming home via a clogged up Queen's Road, a car came out of a side street and bumped into a car on the main road. 
We were a good few cars back and we managed to turn around to escape before the road got even more clogged up with drivers details being exchanged.

Arriving home, a second stint of snow shifting was needed to get the car safely parked up.

After lunch some more white stuff came along followed by a brighter interlude.

Ah! I thought - the last of stuff - so I shifted it for the 3rd time.

I decided to take the camera and walk up to Taylor Lane and on to Raggalds Flood.
When I got to Taylor Lane, Raggalds looked bathed in mist so I headed back home ... and it started to snow.

There were few birds about as you would expect.

A Blackbird was in our garden enjoying the Meal Worms I'd lobbed out.
A few Starlings were on the Pylon Wires.
A good number of House Sparrows were flitting from Dan Branch's garden to the nearby privets.
A Chaffinch was in a tree opposite.

Some kids were enjoying the snow though, sledging down a steep field below Roper Lane, and laughing loudly.

A bit of a non event today ...... a bit like this blog and accompanying pictures!!
