It really isn't often that we have snow here. What happens mostly is that the weather forecast predicts it, but the weather gods don't follow through. Today they did, and it has been a lovely novelty. Luckily we didn't need to drive anywhere - though I think the roads were fine, the electrician came to do a job this afternoon and wasn't snowed in.
There was a sparse sprinkling overnight, barely leaving a trace in the morning. Farmer fed the Herdwicks in front of the farmhouse. Then it snowed.
After lunch it snowed again. We walked the dogs to Haunn and looked for East, Middle and West through the snow. We were watched by a group of 12 hinds, standing stock still on the hill over the Black Park fence.
Now it is dark, and the temperature has dropped. I have my fingers crossed it will still be white tomorrow!
