Blimey, it’s cold!

My mother lives in the middle of the Dales National Park in North Yorkshire. A beautiful part of the world but boy, when it’s cold it is really cold.

We’ve just arrived for a two day visit to her in West Witton with the temperature down at minus two, the snow falling at quite a rate and me wondering how we’ll get back if there’s no let up. It’s a long time since I’ve seen weather like this and it’s got a different feel to when it snows at home in southern Staffordshire.

The odd occassions we have snow there, no matter how fast it comes down, we all know it’ll have turned to a slushy mess the next morning. Looking outside towards the village as I type this post I don’t think this snow will be gone by morning!!
