The First Snow of 2025 in Insch, Aberdeenshire
Children overjoyed, drivers not so much!
The first snow of the winter season 2025 fell on Tuesday 18th November to the great joy of local children and even some adults. This maybe wasn't the case so much for drivers or for those who had to go out on foot!
The snow lasted for more than a week, although local farmers and others with tractors were kind enough to come out and clear not only the roads, but the pavements too. This did result, though, in some amusing drifts at the edge of pavements!
Train services on the Aberdeen to Inverness line were not disrupted, but school buses - double-deckers! - taking local secondary pupils to Huntly were off the road for two days. No complaints were heard from the pupils in question...
This is, of course, just the start of the winter, so there will no doubt be many more snowfalls to come and pretty scenes to capture on camera.
When you venture out, don't forget that The Station Hotel offers not only lunch and dinner, but also tea, coffee, cakes and scones throughout the day. Come in and warm up!
