There was still a complete
covering of snow from the previous few days when it started snowing again on the

- if you can make it out - a train heading to Huddersfield
The

A few days later (10th February to be exact) and the snow was still around, this is the setting sun seen from the summit of Alphin Pike.

14 February above Uppermill with Saddleworth Church to the left, there'd been quite bit of thawing but still plenty of snow around.
