So, as per my previous blogpost my thoughts on snow in April were that it was nothing particularly uncommon.  But when you wake up to about 6 inches of the stuff barely 12 hours after it first started you begin to think it was somewhat of a rare occurrence.

So instead of walking around town where all the snow would already have been melted and trampled to slush I decided to head out towards the countryside towards Brumley Brae. First up I found a pair of Moray Council vans sitting next to a fallen tree on Hamilton Drive where they were removing it so the road could re-open.  Having left straight after a snow shower ended I knew I wasn't going to have long till another one arrived and sure enough I had about 10 minutes of sunshine at Brumley Brae to get the photos before heading back.

I went back through the Quarrelwoods for some different photos and to try and seek shelter.  This worked against me because every few trees the melted snow fell from the top hitting lower branches and tumbling snow down on me - brilliant.
