Weather

Winter so far this year has been “balmy” – two weekends ago it was in the 70s, we drove top down in Margarets convertible and had ice-cream 🙂

But overnight things changed dramatically; this mornings temperature was 7f (which is -14c) – one effect is the sudden freezing over of the pond. Different to previous years, the sudden freeze with no snow means the ice is very clear and the fish can be easily seen moving very slowly under the ice:

We had our second “winter storm” which gave less than an inch of snow, but worth a few pictures:

We had another frost yesterday morning – but with the sun shining it was very pretty; really interesting is the strength of the winter sun – look on the roof and see how the edge of the frost follows right next to the shadow … as the sun rose and the shadow moved, the frost has rapidly melted!
