Before the snow!

Lovely to see the sun for a while this afternoon after so many grey, wet and windy days but it is still cold - 0C.

We took a drive past farmland and forests, many of the roads ones that are not treated in winter so may not be accessible for a while as “light rain and snow” is forecast for later afternoon and evening with more predicted overnight.  The building clouds slowly hid the sun;  the forest at the top of the ridge between Etraye and Consenvoye was covered with frost and, on the top of the hill at Haraumont, I felt the first flake of snow sting my face. 

There were some lovely cloud formations but with hints of pink as we returned home, maybe the outlook won’t be as bleak as the forecast indicates.
