Overnight Snow

Woke this morning to the first snow - a thin covering, the sort of snow that freezes easily - over the whole valley apart from the very bottom, the Moor itself.  On the woods above Byton it was still on the trees, like blown flour, and stayed on the hilltops and the exposed fields on the top of Shobdon Hill until midday.  A cold day with a thin wind.  The hills further east seemed to keep their snow all day.
