March snow in Main Street

March 8th 2023, Wed evening a soft small flake fall of snow. Wow, by breakfast time it was white out, a good wind had pushed drifts up to window height!

Tractors only on the morning roads. And that’s big four wheel drive tractors. Loaders and dig shovel machines ruled Main Stret on the morning snow.

Village began digging out their doors. Magical sunshine by mid-morning and an epic vista of bright blue sky alongside a white blanket.

The light was dazzling, walking back indoors it was hard for eyeballs to adjust. We were snow blind in Derbyshire, eleven hundred feet above sea level in the heart of the Peak National Park!
