So there you are, not long to wait now and we,re on our way.

Quiet around the village today with some heavy snow showers blown in on a strong W>6 and serious snow this evening with standing traffic. Could be grim by morning.
Hoped to check the Raggalds Flood today but the usual long wait at a hospital appointment with Lynda put stoppers on that.
A text today from Fireman Craig of a white duck with a black head on Mixenden reservoir, obviously Goldeneye or Goosander, thanks for that Craig.
