A tiny sprinkling of snow here which soon disappeared. Looks like your plough had its work cut out!

Lovely shots, thansk for sharing.
Can't remember when I last saw snow that deep! A wee bit blowy here but the sun is shining and no snow, just a bit damp in the wind earlier this morning.

Great stuff! That snowplough must weigh a fair bit?

I really like the loco too, really boxy and functional-looking, just perfect for the task...

Cheers,

Andrew.

We have had about 2 mm (yes mm) this winter, but I have to admit I do not miss it. Having done 3-month winter detachments to Norway, living in snow holes, i am no longer a fan of the stuff :D
