Though some parts of the country have been hammered, including neighbouring Lincolnshire, which has had several car accidents, including a triple fatality. Nottingham has so far escaped.
After an early blood test, I noted that the sky was divided into two parts. One section was bright blue with fluffy white clouds. The other was grey and threatening, with more than a hint of roiling and portent.
Eventually the latter won through, the world turned grey and large fluffy flakes of snow came falling. Once it had laid a half inch of snow it slackened off, the sun came out and the thaw commenced. Yes, it was that quick. Ten minutes falling, ten minutes melting. We had a few flurries later, and even a few soft ice pellets, but little stuck.
Moon over Sherwood
On the way home I bought a few supplies (sausages and bread) to see us through any further snow, and took pictures of sunsets. There is still some snow on the shady side of the streets here, but that’s it so far.
The temperature is low, but no lower than normal winter temperature.
All in all, I’m happy with the lack of snow and keeping my fingers crossed that it will continue. I’m also happy with the sunsets – most of which were taken in the supermarket car park after buying the aforementioned supplies.
Sunset in Sherwood
And again…
Beautiful sunset shots!
Thank you. Another lucky evening. 🙂
🙂
Great atmospheric pics, especially the trio of rooftops
Thanks Derrick – I’d rather be photographing trees and geaveyards but you have to work with what’s in front of you. 🙂
That’s exactly it
🙂
Fabulous sunsets. So sorry to hear about the fatalities, but I was very glad to read that Nottingham was spared. Let’s hope that is that with the snowy weather.
Fingers crossed – people are killed on the roads all the time but it always seems worse when it’s times like this.
Oh, sure! As Mainers, we take snowstorms in stride, but we also take them seriously. We know how treacherous the roads can be during bad weather, and most people don’t drive during a big storm. Again, hope the weather is too bad in Nottingham.
Oddly, it’s slightly warmer and less snowy on the south side of the city – we,of course, live on the northern end. 🙂
Funny, isn’t it? That happens here, too. Often with rain.
I suppose there has to be a place where the weather changes, but it’s strange to see it. Today we were equally snowy at both ends.
At least the weather was consistent.
🙂
Beautiful photos – I love the moon & the auras around the sun photos.
Thank you. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. The auras come from my artistically dirty lens. 🙂
It works!

Beautiful sunset photo!
🙂 Thank you.
Glowing sunsets well captured.
Thank you. I’m struggling for subjects at the moment so it was a very timely sunset. 🙂
