a bit of snowy video

[rancid badger]

I was walking through the wood again in the snow and just thought I'd share a bit of video I took as I went. Poor quality but its a still camera first and foremost, so what the hey!

This is the main road in, about 6 inches of frozen snow/ice, with whatever depth of snow falls overnight on top.

apologies for the music but the original sound track was just scraping, knocking and scuffing noises!

hope this gives a picture of what its like here at the moment

I don't know about Chopwell but there's actually a bit of a thaw going on here in Ponteland!

Just overnight, it's finally started to melt a little.

sod's law of course me and the two kids ( hah! 17 & 22 ) spent 3 hours yesterday, clearing the drive and junction out front, right down to the tarmac, only to finally have the council send a blxxdy tractor with a snowplough, round this morning.

The plough has effectively blocked the cul de sac, as well as everybody's drive ways, with a 2 ft high wall of slushy ice!

Bless em

Still, at least they are trying here, unlike at Prudhoe; where the main drag along the industrial strip of Princess Way, still looks the same as our estate road did yesterday.

anyway stay warm

yup the thaw is on here too. I'm delighted.

EDIT: I was delighted until I got a call from work, I had to go in to sort out the bizillion leaks that have sprung in pipes in the byre. Damage limitation was a success though. It was a nightmare getting hold of a plumber, I guess other folk have found themselves in a similar situation.
