Snow scenes in Rye, Dec 2010

It started snowing yesterday evening, and this morning it looked like this:

The side roads have the deepest snow:

In our front garden there was over 10 inches of snow:

and we won't be getting any solar water for a while:

all the bins look like this:

Our cars our buried, though the land rover could still get out if we needed to:

and where we have a leaky gutter, the slow melting of snow on the roof from heat inside the house has made an icicle:

At least Rye Hill is reasonably clear:

But Udimore road isn't looking so good:

Deadman's Lane is trying to live up to its name, with an icy covering:

There are still people driving on it though:

The train line is another matter - there's nothing moving there:

Going through Rye, the main roads aren't too bad. Here's the Landgate:

Some cars look like they're staying here for a while:

Market Road looks a bit risky:

as does Mermaid Street:

In fact, the A259 isn't great:

Away from the roads, there's some great views:

and it's still snowing, with wind blowing what's already fallen around:

Maybe we'll head up to the wood again before it melts...
