Sunset over Snow

Next day after the snow fell there was a beautiful red sunset.

But the snow lay on the ground for over a week....

Snow!

Woke up to snow, already 3-4 inches deep as I walked to get the Sunday 'papers, and snowing heavily.

Lunch with Toby & Emma had to be postponed, so walked to town to get roast for dinner. Snow at midday around 6 inches deep.

Snowplough going up and down St Peter's Street.

More than 20 snowmen being built on Bernard's Heath, several taller than me.
