Pic taken from my bedroom window.

Always liked the look of snow. But hate it when it turns into f***ing ice:steam:

Just got in - 6 inches of the stuff here - was playing cards round a mate's house, didn't realise I'd be re-enacting 'Scot of The Antartic' on the way home. Only a half mile thankfully :)

We got stranded yesterday after a day out in Doncaster, we managed to get a train back to Rotherham but our house is about 2.5 miles from the station, all taxis were grounded so we had no other option but to walk.. :( I know 2.5 miles ain that far but when the snows down & it's coming down thick & fast it's not funny.

Still nothing here in North Wales... In fact, it's 6.5°C outside, so no chance yet of any snow!

Nothin' here, it's 9c and the sun is (was) shining. Snow, no thanks, too bloody cold when it does! :)

Used to chuckle from Scotland at the headlines of "the whole of the UK" grinding to a halt with 0.01m of snow..... It is all perspective I guess, but 0.16m ???

A bit warmer here from -18 daytime -30 nights over last few days, hovering around the -6 mark today, and snow finally hitting us here up near Moldova. About 0.5m in the last 2 days around the city, so on top of the ice that did not clear, a bit of fun.... Just back from digging the car a way in/out, so thawing out with a nice cup of tea..... Ah...Tetleys....

No snow here either. Must say the news at lunchtime was a laugh as it made out it was an event of apocalyptic dimensions. Look a few inches is a hick up if it was a few m's that's a major event.

The problems in Syria are more serious and deserved top billing not a touch of the white stuff.

Now you guys and parts of Europe have been having major issues with snow, many dead and some governments calling a state of national emergency. This puts a few inches into some kind of perspective.

We had a few inches - enough to have a little bit of fun.

We had about 4 inches of snow overnight in East Yorkshire.

A beautiful sunny afternoon so we went for a long walk and took a few photos.

Tracey wandering off as I keep stopping to take photos, a long walk ahead......

A sign post on a bridleway across a farm, turning left would be a shortcut home, we went straight on to do the long walk.
I liked the sun behind the post.

A view across a farm, I liked the vapour trail from the aircraft heading across the sun from left to right, I snapped it just in time.

On the way home and the sun getting lower in the sky.

Absolutely knackered now as walking for hours in the snow is hard work and I am as unfit as a dead rat at the moment....

A night time view from our bedroom window of our sheep in the garden.
They cant find much to eat.
It's no problem though as they are a special breed of fibreglass sheep from India or Thailand ;)

The technical details of the photos are picture 1 to 5 taken with a Canon Powershot SX 220HS that I bought recently as I spotted it second hand on a forum and could not resist...
It's a bit complicated and I may have to read the instructions...
amazon link to what it looks like:

Photo 6 of the sheep was taken in almost darkness with a Canon 60D at ISO 3200 hence the pixel noise.

No photoshop on any photos, just resized for photobucket.

Good photos Mark. The one On the way home is really rather good and who needs an SLR anyway? Fantastic.

Really like the pics. York looks very nice in the snow.
