January 2010: Winter at the pond
Photos of Setley Pond on Sunday, 10th January, taken by David McNair-Taylor (view as a photo album). An increasing easterley wind has blown snow across the ice and the Brockenhurst to Lymington railway line (which runs close to the pond) has been struggling to provide a service.
January 6th and snow covers much of southern England. Here are some photos of what it was like at Setley pond. The snow was nowhere near as deep as other places nearby, even so, don't expect much model boat action! The last photo shows the area behind the car park... lots of solid water and very wintery!
A New Year and a New Pond... the water level is higher and the island has disappeared, but on the 3rd January the pond's got a solid lid on it! What's more the weather forecast does not promise a thaw; maybe the Setley Pond Gulf Stream has shut down!
