Has anyone noticed that despite being a pain just above the saddle this weather has been making things look bleakly beautiful?

On Friday we drove up the A303 towards London, and he countryside looked just like a film set for Narnia with the remains of snow and the white frost forming on the trees and bushes from the freezing fog. Today around here it's been the same with the skeletons of the trees slowly turning white, and fences, railings, overhead wires and plenty more doing the same.

I can't say I like having freezing fog at -6 degrees but it's rare to see these effects in the south of England.

Yes I drove to Narnia this morning, disappointingly it turned out to be 'work' at the end of the journey...:wacko:

Yesterday we had a hard day at work, long trike rides, and getting back to base in the twilight with energy (both in legs and in electric vehicle) dwindling. But as we locked the trikes away, I looked at the snow, still undisturbed in places, glittering slightly pink in the just-started sodium lights, and thought how beautiful it looks, even if it makes work a pain.

There are some nice pics of the reserve, and us recyclers at work, here:

(That's me, riding the trike to the lockup, looking back over my shoulder, in 6" of snow...)

The countryside hereabouts looked amazing this morning as hoar frost had coated everything in a thick coat of ice. Spiders webs for example looked fantastic in the sunshine coated white- I wish I'd brought my camera. Ice stayed all day and its now 22 deg F here (-5.5c)

I would have liked to have had time to walk round the area with my camera.
