Calne in the snow 2018, Part 3 (Further afield)

The 'Welcome to Calne' sign at the Town Gardens.

In this post, we're going to head out to the areas surrounding Calne. Some we're taken on the 18th of March, while some were taken the day afterwards.

Unfortunately the snow didn't last for long, so these were the only places I managed to photograph.

This concludes the snow scenes for this year. Hope you enjoy them!

Silbury Hill is surrounded by springs, which means that whatever weather, you're likely to find running water, as the water emerges from the ground at 10 degrees Celsius.

Across the road from Silbury, the fields were looking lovely.

Cherhill White Horse and the Lansdowne Monument - an iconic view in this part of Wiltshire.

By the next day, the snow was disappearing.
Here's what's left of a snowy scene looking past St. Anne's church on Bowden Hill.

The first part of this photo adventure around Calne during the March 2018 snow 'event' is here to view. In this second part, we'll stay within the confines of Calne, the third part will venture a bit further out, looking at the white horse and Silbury Hill.

Looking up to the bell tower at St Mary's Church.

Another view of St. Mary's. In previous times referred to as the Cathedral of North Wiltshire, due to its size.

Calne's lovely Almshouses. Still in use and can be viewed during Calne's Heritage Week, each year.

The tower again, this time from the proclamation steps.

Calne in the snow 2018, Part 1

Overnight on the 17th of March, Calne had a good dose of snow from the 'Beast from the East'. While the snow was fairly light and powdery; it looked fantastic. I managed to get out early on the 18th and take some photos of Calne while the snow was fairly fresh.

By the afternoon, the roads were mainly clear and the scenes were quite degraded. Although this evening (18th), there has been a lighter scattering of snow. With the temperature expected to by higher tomorrow than today, I wonder if any of the snow will remain after Monday.

Hopefully you'll enjoy the photos below, with more to follow in the next post.
