That pic of the frozen splashes on the bushes reminds me of a pic a mate showed me once of niagra falls, the spray was freezing and hanging off the trees making all kind of weird beautiful shapes.
I think the difference between my photos and Maria's is they have dug out the roads in mine. This means you get a cliff sided drift so you get an instant appreciation on the size of the drift. Those snowed in lanes in Yorkshire could have snow 2 foot deep or 12 foot deep, depending on how tall the walls are and if it is a sunken lane :thumbsup:

Still pretty impressive whatever. Snow is awesome!:cool:

Oh yeah! Another thing, can folks see the video in the link I posted in the OP? Never used the 'public video link' bit of Facebook before.

Yeah the drift over that entire lane was easy 8ft, I had a mission to climb over it haha.
There's been some amazing pics floating about from other folks. Snow fell on Saturday and some roads have only just opened again yesterday, the drifts just kept re-forming and gritters/ploughs were having a hell of a time. Mightily impressed with how they've tackled it though, not an easy job by any stretch. How they managed in 1963 I don't know!!

The road in my video has been closed again yesterday due to new drifts forming in this constant wind. It has stayed below freezing up there so nothing has thawed. The Horseshoe Pass is in a similar state, open then closed then open again and 4x4 access only when it is open.

Basically, most to the good biking roads around here are closed :nomore:

My bike's been confined to the garage all week, so much for possible Easter bimblage :( Very tired of the white stuff now. And I heard yesterday the cold snap could last til the end of April, NOT AMUSED.
