Winter on the Southwell Trail - Part 22

After the early March snow and mist, I thought there would be a quiet transition to the official start of spring.

What I didn't expect on the eve of spring was more snow but that is exactly what happened as the Beast from the East 2 arrived. This started a new round of winter photography extending the series way beyond what I had originally intended.
