Not the same kind of unusual event as the incredible stuff in the SW, but I went out and about in the North Pennines today. From the foothills to about 1500 ft, so not as high as I could have gone, but anyway...
Good shots Nick, thanks for posting.
It's strange here how little drifting there is anywhere a bit sheltered.On the ridge by the village they really caught it though, and 8" of snow on the fields all ended up in gardens and on the road but nothing was cut off more than 24 hours.Speaking to the snowplough man the moor roads aren't as bad as some lower down where it has packed between hedges and walls.https://s6.postimg.org/h44mimwk1/RX_01655.jpghttps://s6.postimg.org/6hatd7w4h/DJI_0163.jpghttps://s6.postimg.org/i6et13fch/arkangel.jpghttps://s6.postimg.org/q4465rjs1/RX_01643.jpg
Great photos Nick. I like the road to Blanchland and its name makes me wonder if it has a long history of such white conditions!

It's a great spot - same one with the "road closed" sign a month or so ago.
It's a beautiful village as well.

Love the pictures Nick, especially the one with the icicles.
Stunning pics.
Quite something!
A lot of snow in the images.. Its a wonder people got about.
There had been a lot of melt in the 5 days it took me to get to the High(er) Pennines. But here are some from there (car number plate airbrushed out - it's not actually like that!):
A lot of melt? Makes you wonder what i was like a week ago!
