Whilst cold weather is nothing new in old blighty, snow is. Where I live the snow stayed on the ground for a whole week, as did the ice – there were several repeat performances of Snow Lake with cars on Ice. Anyway, here are some snapshots I took while travelling into work. Needeless to say, the car was stationary when the photos were taken.
