The beast from the East

The beast from the East
It came from Siberia! This was yesterday on a local hilly road, today its too bad for me to go get more like this. Joined in our South West today by Storm Emma, they are having much more snow and wind. It's said that we have not faced a Winter like this for two generations. Ah well -makes for exciting photography though.
-Taken about 40 mins walk from my home.

Will try to keep warm and safe Steve. I know you have been around a bit. I don't think there is much I do that you have not done as well some time in your life.

Amazingly, this spot was only 200mts from the nearest farm-house (up the road) but in reality it may have been a million miles. Just about 300mts down this same road, an infant school was just releasing their children to awaiting mothers as I passed minutes before. - I consider myself pretty tough Dani and certainly would not have been there if I thought I could not be safe --that being said it was very cold indeed for a few minutes in the wind and snow. Many thanks for your sentiment and thoughts of my well-being -much appreciated.
HFF and have a great weekend, Herbert

Thanks Steve -sure is cold and as I look out of my office window now, I see giant icicles on our conservatory windows and doors. If the sun breaks, I shall have a wander down the local valley to see if the small weir has frozen solid! Many opportunities for you too I think. Keep warm and safe - Herb

Sure was Rosalyn. I hear the worst is over now and we can look forward to our usual Spring weather in a week or two -that is to say -cold rain and grey skies!
Cheers, Herb

Hi Fred, you will have had the beast too. Like you, I love snow, especially when it is new, crispy and powdery with preferably a perfect blue sky. Maybe the blue sky will come too? Glad you like this, Herb

Hi Herb,

Another very different fence picture for Friday!

Nice to capture the history, but in all honesty the English can't cope with snow. A few cms, and they panic, cry elf n' safety, and run of home!
Others get on with life!! www.ipernity.com/doc/2247842/46109028

Best Wishes, HFF ( a little late), and a Good Weekend!

Thanks Peter, I never thought of HFF when I snapped this. You are right though, a bit of history perhaps. As you know -'our snow is different!' its slippy besides being cold and wet. Our bodies, homes and cars are not built for it as the chap in your photo link is. That being said, I know that there were a lot of folk on our high roads up here, including the M62 who would say that it was even worst up there than it was for the chap in Füsun's shot.
Have a great weekend and again HFF, Herb
