More snow

A few more inches of snow today with schools and businesses sending people home early to avoid getting stranded. We went to collect our daughter from work a little earlier than usual and the stream of traffic coming out of Halifax was never-ending. The roads have been ploughed and gritted regularly but even so they were being covered with snow as we drove this afternoon.

Lee Dam was frozen over and apart from a few Mallards nothing was stirring on the water/ice.

It was a different matter in the surrounding trees though with 2 Goldcrest, at least 7 Long Tailed Tit and many Blue and Great Tit moving through.

The sun broke through for about 5 mins later in the day but for the most part Stoodley Pike was shrouded in cloud:

In the garden we had a Bullfinch (male), 11 Chaffinch, 5 Greenfinch, 10 Goldfinch, a Lesser Redpoll, 3 Blue Tit and a Great Tit.
