Minus 17 tonight...

I popped over to Inverurie at lunch time. The scenery was absolutely stunning - bright blue sky, wall to wall sunshine, the brightness of all the snowy hills - - and -12 at noon! Our temerature at home this eveneing was a balmy minus 17, and dropping!

Keep digging...

I ain't never seen nuffink like it, 'specially in November!

Every time the wee footpath snow plough goes round, it leaves a foot high mound of snow in front of my parking space. Yesterday, I had just finished digging said space out, when round it came - again. "Ho ho ho!" I felt the driver chortle, as he kindly deposited yet another foot-high ridge for me to shovel away.

Then of course there's the big road snow plough, which leaves even bigger mountains - and more shovelling. We haven't seen him today - yet. I have to go and dig out yet again to take Paul to work - what's the odds on the snowplough going round just after I've dug out? Aargh....

It's been like this since Wednesday night - I am soooo fed up with shovelling.

Update 5 December: There are mountains of snow everywhere! Minus 21 on Friday 3rd. MINUS TWENTY-ONE! Four foot long icicles, two feet deep in snow.

Let it sna...

Snow comes to Kembhill Park again... Paul is the "Soup Dragon" as he makes his way to granny's with a tubful... I snapped a lady making her way across the park on cross country skis... Jim comes face-to-face with a snowplough... all in a single afternoon! See all this lack of excitement by clicking >here<

Prior to this afternoon's pasting, we've had snow for a couple of weeks now. I can live with the snow, but it's the ice that I find terrifying. And we've had lots of it - I had difficulty crossing the road to the kirk the other day, and my sister on the north coast has been unable to leave her house for twelve days now because of the ice. She has good frineds, tho, that see that she's alright.
