Snow!
Down here in Hampshire we have had a huge fall of snow this evening. Most of the roads including the M3 and the A34 around Berkshire and Hampshire are at a standstill.
I don't think I will be trying to get down to the stones this year but I look forward to seeing any shots from those who are able to get there.
Maybe next year !!!

This map for Stonehenge is not correct, the location of the stone circle is some miles North, near to Amesbury on the A303.
