I've got the ironing done this morning, a couple of boiled eggs with soldiers for lunch, we abandoned plans for lunch out, its dry and cold out with a strong wind, the trees out the back are being blown horizontal, so far our fence is holding its own, though a neighbor hasn't been so lucky.

Speaking of snow. I've just been out dropping club kit off to members and the fells all round us and across towards Yorkshire are all covered with snow. From a distance it looks like heavy falls.

No........I'm not driving over to Longridge Fell to do a selfie in the snow....... Sorry.
We had over an inch in the more exposed parts here. Not certain if that counts as heavy snowfall any more.

Why not cycle over?
Photographed in Burnley.............:laugh::laugh:

Not often they're covered in an inch of snow.
Well I hope you manage to find them after the thaw.

It is -2C will be 8. Little breeze and it will be great.
Mo, l strongly recommend you get some steel cleats for walking on the ice. Some have studs and others coiled wire or actual cleats. They come in a rubber harness that you pull on over your shoes or boots. For 20 years or more I would walk the 3 miles to work when the road was too crappy to ride a bike due to snow, slush and ice under that. Never fell with those on. Gotta take them off when indoors, though. Unless there was a white out I knew I could get there no matter what the roads were like. It is only after I retired we had vehicles with AWD and I would rather walk than get in an accident or stuck somewhere. I do hate being cooped up inside and found the trudge to work and back a solid workout.
We have natural gas central heating and it works well, although the house is drier than the Sahara in the winter. I had anapt for a while with steam radiators and I liked that a lot.
Be safe and well.
