This is Prologis Park near Coventry
If you zoom in you can tell they are frozen over, except the lake in the middle, which wasn’t?! :thinking:
Anybody want to explain how that is possible? :hushed:

Dont i know it, I dont think the wife will let me forget for a long time :grimacing:. Friday night out from 6pm till 12am, Saturday wasn’t bad just an hour and 4 hours today. I knew the snow wouldn’t last long so took advantage of it to try and get all the cold treasure.

Well done mate and I know what you mean about the wife. “You want drive how far for a picture of a steam train?!” They just don’t understand :wink:

Unfortunately, the snow didn’t last a day here :unamused:

There’s still plenty of time for snow, but I think thats it for me as no towers or canals etc anywhere near me.
