According to a local dog-walker, most of the snow from the original fall had disappeared. Although the snow was two feet deep in places, walking in the tractor tracks wasn't too bad.

Winster is about 250 metres above sea-level, so in the hills but not particularly high. Tracks like this section of the Limestone Way collect the snow though and being sheltered by walls, melting can be slow especially with the below normal air temperatures we've been having.

That's astounding that you have that. We've had none for two months.

James - it was even worse elsewhere. A walk today was called off because of snow blocking the car park assembly point.
