Phill commented on Mike Grenville's group 'Energy'

Hi David, Going by the way the snow looks like it's "slipping off" the roof you could well be right. And as more of the roof is exposed to the sun the faster it warms up etc. It's exactly the same way the snow fell off my greenhouse, and there is no…

Phil I can offer some possible explanations but obviosly not a diffinative answer. Our roof has been re-covered (2008) with slate (canadian i'm afraid but welsh was too expensive). As the slate is new it has yet to aquire a surface film of lichen, t…

White Deer

See a beautiful white deer and watch the Medway and tributaries in full flow, filled with melt-water from the January snows. The deer were filmed at the end of January in the forest between Priory Road and Hindleap Warren. Find the two minute nature diary video Forest Row Late January on the video page.

Forest Row Snow Sculptures

In January 2010 Forest Row became a winter playground. Sledges, skis and snow sculptures appeared as schools closed and children took an extra holiday.
