...and it's still falling (pt1)

Here's a few obligatory snaps of the current snowy conditions in Sheffield...

A few dodgy phone snaps of this morning's snow in town.

A few even dodgier ones from my neighbourhood at about 7am.

I'll try and get some later in the dark with the Christmas lights

Vestry Hall

The entrance to the old Vestry Hall on Meersbrook Park Rd.

Crisp

Town from snow-dusted Meersbrook this morning.

The River Sheaf

The Meers Brook tributary of The Sheaf.

This river gives it's name to our city - the 'fields' aside the 'Sheaf'. It runs from it's source in Totley, northwards under the city centre, to where it meets the River Don. More info here.

Typical

The sky over Meersbrook Edge.

Today I had the afternoon off work, and isn't it typical, the heatwave ends and the heavens opened for most of the day. Luckily though we were graced with another nice evening, before the rain (and another summer of no Brits in the Wimbledon final - yes, I sat and watched the tennis) continues.

Hot town, summer in the city

Another hazy evening in Sheffield - St Paul's Place as seen from Meersbrook.

Our weather didn't quite hit the extremes of some places today (Wimbledon hit 31°C today), we only managed 24-25°C but the humidity has really been up there again. As i walked home with my son today (too hot to get my camera out of my bag) I looked back and noticed how hazy it looked in the city centre and it summed up exactly how the weather felt. I went out and took this shot later on once he was in bed, and it hadn't lost it's haze.
