Through a snowy expanse, a sheep trapped in a snow drift was successfully pulled to safety. The incident was a glimmer of hope amidst an otherwise bleak outlook for farmer Frank Carr in the Yorkshire Dales. Carr expressed concern for his flock, warning that not all of them would be so lucky.
The area had been hit with a tremendous 40cm (15in) of snow, coupled with sub-zero temperatures and dangerous winds.
