York Does Winter by fishers

York Does Winter

Yes, we finally had a change to cooler weather yesterday, with a fall of snow, but here in York it was a very brief appearance. This shot was taken in our front garden. The snow fell on already wet ground and it was melting almost as fast as it fell.

A more serious fall of snow occurred on the higher ground of the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors, travel was disrupted and some schools closed for the day, but not here in York.

It has rained almost continuously since the snow fell, and the ground is even wetter - and the water level in the River Ouse is rising again.

It's a shame, it would have been good for the ice sculptures.

A nice close up. Our grass is not as green this time of the year. We also suffer flooding river in our corner of the world and it's never fun for the houses on low ground. Wishing the Ouse won't get out of its bed.

Hope you can stay cosy and warm indoors.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and fav, they are very much appreciated.

The snow soon cleared as the temperature rose a little, and the rain began. But that is another story.
