Just recovering from a wicked ice-storm here.

Greenhouses trashed, car-roofs dimpled and dented, gardens flattened.

Here's a pic of some vicious hailstones with my 62mm lens-cap for scale.

More pics and some video later.

 

No weather today

Due to cut-backs at the Met Office there will be no weather today...

 

Black and White

Outdoors toilet-training can't be much fun when the snow's up to the top of your legs:

I get the feeling that Elvy didn't really enjoy her introduction to the garden yesterday.

Crunchy

A few days and nights of freezing fog has given our area an appealing makeover, so yesterday I spend an hour or so out with the camera.

Burbage Common was the venue. As you can see we've not had much snow, most of the white crunchy stuff is frost.

The pics are clickable if you want to see bigger versions.

A window in the weather?

A temporary respite from the widespread sub-zero conditions is forecast for the weekend.

Coniston beckons.

A small group of (fool?)hardy folk is planning to answer the call, all we need is a clear route there and back.

And beer-money, of course.

Couldn’t have timed it better

We're off to Buttermere sometime next week for a couple of days of walking.

The Met Office is predicting snow.

The MWIS prediction is similar.
