Winter

A back blip from Thursday, the day winter really began with a vengeance after a night of galeforce winds . Not so much damage close to us but many roads not all that far away closed because of fallen trees.

A day of snow storms, rain and heavy hail stones. The few leaves on this branch managed to hold tight through all of this and are still here today ( Friday )
If you lok clsely you can see the rain lashing down.
