[Unusual Sky]

The description fits, and it was just ahead of the cold front so was the precursor to the current cold spell. They not something I have seen before. Thanks for the info.

This picture was intended to explain the conditions when I took the Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud picture, but it didn't post as I intended...

It was only visible for maybe 5 mins around an hour after the main squall line passed over, I only saw it because we were outside helping a neighbour replace some lost tiles and repair his garage roof, which had been damaged. It was the first calm spell after the squall. It may have been visible over Beverley but blink and you would have missed it

I like the shadows, is that the bike I can see there?

[Thixendale Dec 2010]

Certainly Dec 2010 was a memorable winter over North and East Yorkshire, even at Bempton right on the coast we had over 12 inches at one point.

Lovely pictures, thanks for sharing.

Only time since we have lived here (10 years) that the Brid to Scarborough rail line has closed due to snow. I was returning from Manchester by train the day the snow started in earnest, and got as far as Scarborough, train from Scarborough home wasnt running, but the bus decided to set off. There was very little snow in Scarborough but once we left Filey it was a different world. Driver announced "I'm sorry but I will have to stick to the main road, best I can do is drop people at the nearest point to home" I had a 20 min walk from Grindale Lane end as wife couldn't get car out.
