Thursday


in the woods after our sojourn in the land of the rich yesterday ;)

Warm, 43F, and the snow on the trails is too packed down for snowshoes now, I'm glad of my Hillsound crampons on the icy bits though.

Snowy Saturday

We got about 8-10", it's beautiful now, sunny and 29F but with a gusty wind.

The Confirmation Retreat was unfortunately cancelled, but at least I get to be out here on my snowshoes (after 7 hours of shovelling at the church!).

No music, enjoying the windsong in the trees :)

Snow!

It's coming down as sleety ice pellets at the moment, 30F, but we're supposed to get at least a foot tonight! I'm going home to dig out my snowshoes after this :)

Snowing gently...

... in the woods :)

28F and light snow falling. I already had to clean up the dusting we got overnight this morning, and if this keeps up I may have to do it again tomorrow. I really wish it would just make it's mind up and give us a good dumping rather than these piddling little dustings!

Super Bowl Sunday

Cool, 29F, and we had another annoying dusting of snow last night; enough that I had to go out early this morning and clear it, but not enough to be called a proper snow event- give me a good foot or two anytime: enough to get my teeth into and then go snowshoeing in!

Super Bowl this evening, big screen and tons of finger foods :)
