Tim Wright Posted 7 December , 2012 Share Posted 7 December , 2012 So, the fog has gone and now we have beautiful fresh snow that fell overnight. In some places it is 15cms deep. The 4 pictures are of Adanac Cemetery, Regina trench cemetery, Sunken lane below Grandcourt trench facing in the direction of Courcelette and the skyline from Grandcourt trench across Grandcourt in the direction of Thiepval.

I bet you've already got one of those badges in your extensive collection. I need a badge that you haven't got. Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David B Posted 22 December , 2012 Share Posted 22 December , 2012 It might look nice, but it means it is cold, cold, cold. Thank goodness for a real xmas in Australia where it will be around the 40C mark, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frajohn Posted 17 January , 2013 Share Posted 17 January , 2013 The forecast was right, we had more snow, just about 5 times the amount forecast. Is it cold? last night we recorded -14 c with the highest during the day at -6 c. A few images of the recent fall.

gilbo139 Posted 18 January , 2013 Share Posted 18 January , 2013 How do the local authorities cope with the weather.....ie you can obviously still drive around......do you have a 4x4?...,,,nice photos thanks. colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lees Posted 18 January , 2013 Share Posted 18 January , 2013 The roads are all clear of snow and ice. I drove from Calais to the Somme on Tuesday evening in a blizzard. Had it been the UK I don't think we would have made it, but I saw 6 gritters on the A26 between Calais and Lens, working in pairs and the road remained passable. All the roads through the villages have been cleared and are easily passable. Having said all that, I do have a 4x4 and that allows me to use the tracks like Grass Lane, too.
