The Big Melt

View over the fields towards Brighouse, the big melt has started the snow is now melting as the temperature rises. BoB

[Margo]

Must be an exciting time as the green will start soon & the buds & flowers!!

[Lou Ann]

The rivers will be running full I’m sure.

[Henri Russell]

I would think there will be lots of runoff into the rivers soon.

[Babs]

It may be melting, but it still looks pretty chilly.

@777margo Thank you for find the time to comment Margo, our garden has already started with Snowdrops and Crocuses in bloom:)

@louannwarren Thank your for your comment Lou Ann following the boxing day (26-Dec-2015) floods along the Calder valley millions of pounds have been spent on flood defences so hopefully the rivers will contain the water:)

[Peter]

@henrir Thank you Henri its already started to fill the rivers, hopefully following the new construction of flood defences all will be well, see my link showing the mopping up the day after in Brighouse 4 miles away in a straight line, https://365project.org/pcoulson/365-2/2015-12-27

Love the muted tones in this shot. It's good to see the grass again- all the snow has gone here
