Odd last night, went out to teach and when I went down to the school it was just a normal chilly night but in the 4 hours I was there it turned into Lapland outside.
Excellent! Proper snow all over - just like being a kid again!
Driving home was a bit dodgy as there was a good inch or more of snow on all the roads and it wasnt going anywhere in a hurry, was obviously having to take it steady but it was fun though

First off last night we have the worst snowstorm I can remember in years, but it only lasts a total of about 15 minutes… still more than enought to leave the roads treacherous though…
Then, when I get up (early-ish as planned) I can hear a low-flying helicopter nearby. I looked out of the window to see the local Air Ambulance hovering around looking for a place to land up on Cam Peak (a small hill / common ground about half a mile up the road).
Course, I had to go have a look, and further investigation found out that someone had taken a nasty tumble sledging and needed to go to hospital. I got there just as they were getting back into the helicopter, and thanks to the marvels of digital technology, got a couple of cool shots of the helicopter, such as this one
