It's not letting go....

......the snow! Thursday morning we woke about 6am to heavy snow, which kept on going for the next 3 and a half hours, right on rush hour, which caused chaos around parts of West Yorkshire and ended up with folks taking more snow days (well not for me of course - I still ended up doing a half day).

So with a couple of extra hours at home I spent half the time clearing snow off the feeder as the birds where in and out of the garden non stop.

Whilst I waited for the snow to ease I just sat back and enjoyed the view, which included a Heron flyover too. Last year I had to wait till October before I ticked a Heron on the patch, i've seen three this year already.

The funny thing is by 5pm about 2/3 of the snow had gone and apart from the odd abandoned car it was like this mornings travel chaos never happened!
