Last night felt exceptionally cold with both cats burrowing under the duvet & grizzling at one another.
We've been filling a plastic watering can with water from the burn for use inside. It was frozen solid this morning as was the door & windows.
We had to venture over to Ullapool & it was glaringly bright with everything twinkling, massive icicles on all the waterfalls. The snow lying on the trees looked wonderful, but there are a few trees lying almost horizontal above the road propped against their neighbours, ready to come crashing down in a puff of wind. It all looks very dangerous. It was -12 going over the Thane & that was in the sunshine - goodness knows what it is now. The burn is almost frozen over now. It is far too cold.

I've seen on the news that it is around minus 20 at night in the north Caroline. I'm not even sure I can comprehend that degree of cold. Look after yourself!
ReplyDeleteIt's not been great but I think it's worse over on the East with heavy snow falls making byre roofs collapse again.
ReplyDeleteWe actually haven't had that much snow, but what we had froze solid - similar to last year but way too early.
It thawed today but the temps plummeting again.
Everything is black ice & lethal.
Just as well we have the wood burner
