New York snow time lapse & just blustery here

Sky News carries this Time lapse footage of the Snow taking hold of the city.  Apparently both Boston and New York have been "shut" to motorists! - - - worth a look - - -

The Met O gets an airing on the BBC News with a "Yellow Warning"  of snow to be falling on Scotland already this morning.  A clearer representation is further down the story when it is explained that in Northern England there will be "showers" which could be hit and miss as to where they leave the snow.


Yesterdays walk was one i had not done for a while and it turned out to be a rather muddy affair

Having started from just below the houses in the distance i past the yard below with its huge quarry stones, it used to be a sawmill years ago.  The field in front belongs to the Haddon Estate and you can see where the tree guard has been erected to shield young saplings from the Deer's attention.  The old trees just behind it look to have had their day.

A little further up the track now and looking North towards Bakewell i can make out the white roofs of the Agricultural Centre

Higher still now and looking South.  The Larch tree's are almost obscuring what used to be a nice summertime view from the log seat in the foreground

I'm almost sure this gateway is the boundary between Haddon and Chatsworth Estates and this is where the mud begins

Just about the highest spot on the walk and a great view across to Russian Cottage with Chatsworth hidden by the hills but the Hunting Tower just visible in the woods above

I soon see Chatsworth in all its splendour as i head South down to the River and back to the mud

Passing one of the prettiest Chatsworth houses with its huge garden, you can recognise Chatsworth houses by the blue guttering and barge boards

This flock of Canada Geese look to be feeding themselves up on the grass as i squelch along the muddy field path

As i stroll down the local River Bank i see half a dozen fishermen preparing to do battle with the trout, it appears to be some kind of "fishing course" going on with an instructor etc - - -

my reward after the muddy walk is a quick shower and off to lunch at The Grouse at Froggatt this view from the car park looks quite benign but there's a keen North Wind blowing - - -

The stats show as pretty mild Temp but the wind is set to get stronger as the day go's on - - -

A cloudy start and we have had the odd drop of rain already in the breezy dawn 

I'm off for a stroll around White Edge and Froggatt edge this morning and i have an idea it could be quite "blustery!" 

Enjoy the day
