Winter draws on

Friday 20th November 2015

Today was really cold, but for the most part sunny. We had a run out to Fridaythorpe, then onto Huggate and home in the afternoon. The outside temperature in Driffield was seven degrees but by the time we got to Huggate, it had dropped to five and add the wind chill - yes it was cold. Approaching Huggate, the sky darkened for a light shower. Huggate is one of the highest spots on the Wolds and this sentinel of a tree on top of a ridge has stood the test of time with no shelter and open to the four winds. Quite a lot of trees have still got some leaves, but this one is bare. Snow forecast for tomorrow - not surprised!
