THE recent snow might not have been to everyone's liking - but it provided a field day for Craven's photographers.
They have been out and about across the district, capturing the winter wonderland.
And Craven's hills and dales certainly look majestic, with their covering of snow adding extra beauty.
The UK gets on average 33 days of snow fall or sleet a year, with most falling on higher ground where temperatures are lower.
One of the snowiest winters in living memory was in 1947 when, between January 22 and March 17, snow fell every day somewhere in the country.
Here, in Craven, the first flakes fell on Sunday, February 2, 1947, and snow-cutters cleared the last of the big drifts at the end of March. Several communities were cut off and it was June before some of the snow drifts in shady places vanished from sight.
