Following
from the previous photos on New Years Day, the start of January continued cold.
This is the frozen Huddersfield Narrow canal at Diggle on 4th January,
a grey and raw day with temperatures around 0c.
The
next nine photos were all taken on the afternoon of 6th of January, it was below
freezing all day and the thin cover of snow had fallen on the night of the 4th.
This
is the canal again, at Roaches Lock, Mossley .
Another view at Roaches Lock.
Roaches, Mossley.
Pots and Pans, with the Saddleworth war memorial, catching the last of the afternoon sun. The houses of Greenfield are below.

The icy and very slippery bridlepath leading down to Dovestone
The view from the dam of Dovestone Reservoir towards Mossley, it was bitterly cold!
Dovestone Reservoir at dusk, the edges of the reservoir were frozen as seen in the foreground
On Knowl Top Lane above Greenfield. I think the bright thing in the sky is Venus.
There
was another snow fall in the early hours of 7 January, this is the scene over
the rooftops of Top Mossley beneath the low cloud.

The last photo of this cold spell. Taken on the afternoon of 10th January with the still mostly frozen canal at the boundary of Mossley and Saddleworth, looking to Wharmton Hill with some large snow patches remaining.
