Sky drama and snow

This morning saw the first snow of the season after a very wild night. It was only half an inch or so but it had frozen and was very deceptive to the unsuspecting dog walker! It didn't hang around for very long and it was only in our little lane that the snow had been laying. When we drove to West Linton the main roads were clear and all the drame took place in the sky as you can see above. 

 It became even more impressive when the sun made an attempt to escape from the cloud cover.

The above picture really is a photographic no no with all that flare but I liked it best, so it will become my blip for today. Very Armageddon-like.
