Sod it, I'm going out.

It's been snowing properly for well over an hour. I'm going out have a walk round and take some pictures.

+1 just got back from having a walk round with my son to his mates. Just to get out of the house for a bit.

Local park is closed 'Due to adverse weather conditions'

it's snowing and you're not going out on the trike?

Useless without photos!

I've been out sledging with my daughter for most of the afternoon.......Great fun.

Hmmm.. Coming down pretty thick now. This is how it was earlier today:

Any minute I'm going to get a call to pick people up from the station.

 

[marinyork]

Nice, thought they'd be more snow there for some reason.

Barely a flake has fallen here. The heavy frost stayed all day which was quite picturesque but I'd love to see a proper blizzard.

No snow here. We're supposed to get some around Tuesday Wednesday but I am hoping not. All very pretty but no good for getting to work and getting paid.

I am going to 'Bah Humbug!' the snow this week. That is mainly because the car is in for a service and repair so I will have a little courtesy car that I can't plug my winch into nor fit my shovel in the boot. I'm going to look for some snow socks for my wheels on ebay.

Hmm, well, it's a two mile ride to fetch it, and then I suspect the snow would be up to the underside of the seat in places. If I had it here, I might have got it out for a play, but going to get it would be a long walk - I'm not riding 2 wheels in the current snow/ice combo...

Anyway, pics:

The view from the corner of my street:



Just round the corner, the little candle lights in the winow look very welcoming.



This chap looks a bit cold:



This is the standard 'flood' view, this time rendered in snow:



Cliffords Tower. The slope is tempting for tobogganing, but actually a bit too steep, and with very little space at the bottom for stopping. Also, it's a listed monument, so access to the slope is forbidden. It wasn't stopping some people...



The Ice Rink has been moved this year, but the sign amused me:



Finally, a York classic, the Shambles. They were going to knock this down, you know, in the 60s.

Like the ice rink . Hehe.

Wow that is romantic

Yeah, I didn't include this one....



I watched a couple of cars slither about as I walked along - fortunately, nothing too dangerous.

But you're right, it's beautiful in the snow. I was taking a snap when two ladies walked past and said how they wished they got cameras with them.

Alongside the Minster, there are real gaslamps which give an added Dickensian feeling....

I took this one a few years back and used it on my Christmas cards that year:

Like the ice rink . Hehe.

Yeah, would have been hilarious if it was there, but closed due to cold weather....
