3rd of March: A rare sight

It's not very often we get to see thick snow on Blakeney Point. Heavy snow fell between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. We were first able to get out there, in the tractor, on Thursday afternoon. Here are a few photographs capturing the rare sight, albeit after a bit of melting.
