Whilst I knew the village would look magical today I did not venture from the house, so these photographs come to you from the comfort of the kitchen and the porch!
Heavy snow expected tonight, so I wont be driving tomorrow. The road is being re-surfaced at the moment so we have to use the back lanes which do not get gritted.
This morning Jon went to work in the 4x4. Apparantly the cars were sliding everywhere and he had to turn round and get to the workshop via the untarmaced road, the type of situation he would describe as fun! LOL!
Birk Brow, at the base of the Moor Road was closed by the police at 8.30am so our village was quite issolated.
I settled down with a good old fashioned detective story by our very own Nicholas Rhea, the author behind the Heartbeat Series. I had to finish the book....a great way to spend a cold, wet day!
What's the weather like where you are?

Honestly, the country comes to a standstill when we get bad weather! Our roads are really icy but we don't see the gritter at all round here - we have a private road of just over half a mile long leading up to the farm and it's like a skating rink!

well here the wind blew and the rain came and the snow went.
We had some hail late in the afternoon.
I'm still in my dressing gown since this morning - went out and did essentially shopping yesterday when it was cold but sunny.
It seems you'll have white Christmas despite us (20 degrees C is rare even for Greece at this time of year!).
That sounds like a great way to pass a cold, wet day. Even Jo seems a bit chilly out in the weather.
The weather here is mild with the sun trying to poke through the overcast skies.
We definitely need some rain here in Northern California.
You did the best you could - and now I know which author to look out for.
And BTW - -2 C and 2 cm snow.
Love the photo of the animal friend against the snow. My mum had two geese called Mahatma and Gander.
Hello Mrs Nesbitt. The weather in Vienna is dark. Just going to make the hot chocolate and fill the hot water bottles. In the night it gets cold, but unfortunately my better half insists on having the windows open in case some night creatures might want to fly in, not to mention snowflakes, rain and wind. When the wind bangs the window it wakes me up. Tell those boys in blue to get the road open.
They are always looking for tea and cake when they should be after miscreants. That much I do know.
Now that just looks plain cold. None for me, thanks. :) In fact, I'm heading further SOUTH for a week of vacation in Orlando, another couple of hours south of us - but even we in north Florida had a freeze two days ago (yes, it does get cold in north Florida). :)
Jo doesn't look all that happy about the weather, does she? By the sounds of it, you and Jon aren't very pleased either. It's pretty though.
What area in Yorkshire are you?
I love Yorkshire we never get your amount of snow, we hardly get any
:-( it alway's misses use not fare.
I love to see fresh snow, all I want to do is be the first to walk in it. lol
We often visit Goathland, we have noticed it has got more commercial over the past few year's.
Last year we went to the Edinburgh Tattoo stopped at Skipton lovely little town...
Jealous... I wanted snow today!
Aloha Mrs Nesbitt..
