drifting

More snow

No new images I’m afraid folks due to the conditions most of the country are currently experiencing.  Here in north Kent we have had quite a dumping making driving treacherous.  Over the last couple of days I have had some white-knuckle rides through blizzards and un-cleared roads and at the moment only going out when absolutely necessary.  I don’t personally have a problem with driving in the snow, its the countless idiots that drive too close and too fast  that I’m more concerned about! 

I attempted to get to my woodland feeding station this morning but the roads are almost impassable with extensive drifting, even with a 4×4.   The snow was really belting down so I turned back halfway there and ended up pulling a Land Rover out of a hedge.  The birds have plenty of food in the feeders and photography can wait another day.  I’ll be having another go tomorrow so finger’s crossed I make it.  It doesn’t look as though things are going to be much better anytime soon.   Even if it doesn’t snow, with temperatures forecasted to remain close to freezing, it’s just going to be compacted.  I think after this, many will consider buying winter tyres for the next couple of months.
