A very icy Serpentine in Hyde Park, London
Just a couple of weeks ago I took this photo of the Serpentine in Hyde Park. It was very cold and not even the ducks dared try to ice-skate on its surface. It was a beautiful sight, though. Some really heavy snows challenged the British islands. I had never seen London with that much snow. I was here last year in February and, same thing, a lot of unexpected snow in the country, but London seemed snow-proof.
Snowy Cirencester, 2 weeks ago
Now, today in Cirencester we could experience the ultimate All-in-One climate change. This morning the sky wasn’t too promising, but still, no rain. Then before lunch, a rain shower, quickly followed by a beautiful open sky. Nice, a couple of hours of warm sunshine right before going back to work. It was much appreciated, given the cold temperatures we’ve been having for about 2 months now. But it was too much hoping the sun would keep shining a little longer. In the afternoon we had some hail, followed by some heavy snow. So now we are covered again. Luckily it snowed for only about an hour or so, not much is left in the street, just a little bit in the fields. But temperatures are, once again, below zero and the freezing wind isn’t helping. It was fun though, seeing the weather change so quickly within minutes! Next time I’ll take some photos of each ‘phase’. I guess climate is really changing after all.
