There was a sprinkle of this fine snow again late last night and it froze. But this morning the clouds are moving west at the speed of an escalator, and there's large areas of blue sky visible.
Sunshine out there today. Hoping it'll clear the road of the heavy frost we had last night. I need to try my car out again today and am waiting for it to warm up a bit first.
The sunshine and blue skies lured me out for a walk but it was bitterly cold walking into the wind (thankfully on my outward journey) and a relief to get back indoors again afterwards. Was treated to a lovely aerial display by a red kite (avian variety). Sadly as they quarter the area they move too fast to capture them on camera. Frosty puddles and lots of patches of snow waiting around for more to join them.
It doesn't seem to know what to do today, we've had bright sunshine, snow, wind, clouds, every time I look out of the window it's doing something different.
After the mixed weather today the sky over my place is clear and blue. The local weather report at lunchtime says it will be -6 tonight. Despite the sun I doubt it's got above 1 degree today.
Yesterday, OH took the big disks of ice out of the smaller water containers. He stood them up against the containers expecting them to melt during the day. They didn't and were still there this afternoon frozen together.
Drizzle, would sooner it give a good downpour than this, reminds me of back it the UK. We normally get rain this is more spitting fine and been like it for 3 days now. (Algarve) What happened to our 300 days of sunshine?
Just been out and moved sheets of ice again. Another couple of freezes and it won't be necessary to get the bucket out to take the rain water/melted snow off the trailer lid. The ice is doing the job for me.
What a difference. I went outside in my dressing gown to bring the bin in, and I wasn't instantly frozen. Most of the ice has melted, only a couple of small bits left.
The sun trying to find a way through the cloud cover.
