Winter arrives with a bang.

Waking up to a snowy Queensbury.

Man the shovels.

Heavy overnight snow, made worse by gale force winds, stopped the job in Queensbury today with many side roads blocked due to drifting. You can tell how bad it was with 1 grit wagon coming past today, they don,t usually come out in bad weather!

A strong to gale force N>7 gusting 8 continued throughout the day but has started to drop this evening with heavy freezing. At least one advantage of not having the car is I havent had to dig it out.
