The small thaw and light rain are very slowly turning a small amount of the snow into water. I don't like the idea that the water will freeze again tonight and turn things into a skating rink by the morning. At least we have food and wood (if I can find it under the snow!)

I do hope your wet suit is a full one, Mike.....

I have a photo of my hubby in his full suit, with a buddy of his, getting ready for a triathlon a few years ago. The buddy had a sleeveless suit but was very 'hirsute'....... no, he was bloody hairy!! Long gingery hairs are snaking up through the air from both shoulders and horizontally from his neck - oh, it is SO not a good look!! :lol: :lol:

2 inches was enough to make this county grind to a holt, but what do you expect when a large chunk of it is lower than sea level - I think that the council bods seem to think that flat roads don't get icy! :roll:

It's all but gone now, and is very wet, although with another freeze tonight it should be an interesting trip out to DH wood yard tomorrow. :shock:

There's ice mountains in this town now - and those are the pavements. :roll:

Just when we thought all was over and the thaw had started.......it snowed again, and again!

I am highly fed up with all this snow. Probably had 3 feet here in total. I thought I was safe with me ole Landy, but on taking it out this morning, I knew all was not well after 2 miles in the ice that is our roads - engine temp up to normal, but icy air coming from heater. Pulls in half a mile later to adjust my home made radiator muff and... oooo...listen to that - boiling engine. Grrrrr. 2 hour wait in -11C for the tow truck to take me the 2.5 miles home and the beggar turned up in a transit van without the means to tow. Double Grrrrr. Land Rover now being worked on in local garage. Guess what the cause was?

Note to self: next autumn, much check antifreeze in Landy. :oops:

Thing was it coped with -19C on Friday night, but I was out in it last night till 11pm so I bet it was that 'hot water freezes quicker than cold water' thing. I'm off to give myself a good talking to.
