Gasped my way up to Monksmoor tonight, which was still looking Arctic. I know it's not to everyones taste, but I just adore it when the fells are dressed in those cryptic bands of snow - the contrast between light and dark.

Snow begrudging, shows the way,
Mudclaws growl at ice.

Cryptic bands of snow. I like that too. You should use that line in a haiku before someone is "inspired" by it and nicks it!
I think 'Mudclaws growl at ice' is wonderful Mossy
Not real snow here now. Just the occasional icy patch at the weekend and residual lines of stubborn stuff along the higher fell walls

More snow on the Howgills since Thursday.I think 'Mudclaws growl at ice' is wonderful Mossy

Sounds like when we drove up for the forum XOTF get-together before Christmas. More plum puddings with a sprinkling of icing sugar than sleeping elephants

Sorry about that.I really should have stopped after my first haiku tonight! I've gone downhill faster than Ted Mason ever since.
This is really lovely...i am envious on two counts...not living near snowy hills and not running on them recently! .....Gasped my way up to Monksmoor tonight, which was still looking Arctic.

Really love this Mossdog. I'm envious that you were running in the fells, I've just got back from a moonlit muddy run but it was mainly road.Gasped my way up to Monksmoor tonight, which was still looking Arctic.

I'm sure it's snowed at the Anni Waltz before now, so careful what you wish for. It just might happen!This is really lovely...i am envious on two counts...not living near snowy hills and not running on them recently! .....
