We seem to be living in a little island of
snow and ice in our immediate area. You don't have to go many miles for the
snow to vanish, so while it's here, I wanted to make the most of it. After
spending the morning, checking all the anti-freeze in the three vehicles to
make sure it was up to the job of the current cold weather, I decided to go
for another drive. Then I realised I'd be in trouble from my daughter if she
missed out on a second snow trip, so decided to wait until she got in from
school. We wouldn't have long before the sun set, but hoped to catch a nice
sky at some point on the route.
We'd had several heavy snow showers across
today, topping up the landscape with a fresh blanket of white. The trip
followed the same route as I'd taken with the Dodge a few days ago, though I
missed one stop next to a small woodland due to poor lighting there. |

My daughter snapped a few pictures while we were on the move and I used my DSLR for the parked shots; shooting in Nikon RAW format as usual. The sun was already very low in the sky when we set off, only 3 degrees above the horizon at our first stop. |

The view at the church yard was a bit more snowy this time and after a few pictures there, we moved on to sunset lane to end the trip. The usual spot was in a bit of a depression and was only just seeing the setting sun. |

A little further up the lane again to the stop with the steep banks. This area doesn't see much sun at this time of the year, so there hasn't been much snow melt here, so everything looked fresher and whiter. |

We took a few pictures of ourselves here and then headed back home to wash the road salt off again and warm up. |
