A little dusting of snow this morning. Took the wife out on the trap line with me, her first time. Her 4 wheeler ran out of gas about 2 miles from the truck. Fortunetly it was all down hill so she could coast most of the way.
Psalm what is the deal with the local tv stations running the scroll about a freeze tomorrow night? It's continuous.
They are treating it like a blizzard or something.

forecast here is for heavy rain and high winds later this afternoon, south coast rail line is due to be shut at 3pm as it will coincide with high tide, rail line is right next to the sea and is vulnerable to flooding and damage.

Got up at 5 am this morning to break the ice on the pond for the cattle. Normally I drive the 4 wheeler out in a shallow area until the ice breaks. But today the ice was a little too thick so I had to jump on the ice until it broke. Then we drove 8 hours north to visit the kids and grandbabies. Got 3 inches of snow tonight so far. When we get home tomorrow night I'll use the Jeep to break the ice.

@Arcticdude I just give the ice tray a twist and the ice is ready for it's proper purpose, cooling my drinks. No white fluffy stuff or frozen water in my part of the world. Just wonderful beautiful sunshine. Drive safe.

wet again today, heavy rain big black clouds, probably set in for all the day.
After over twenty years, I'll get to spend the winter in a warm friend's house in Manchester and then my cousin's warm house in Scotland. Can't wait. I like a cold bedroom with a warm duvet and blankets on the bed, and rarely close the bedroom windows, but sitting in my living room to study, wrapped in a layers of thermals, a duvet, hat and fingerless gloves, is no fun!

We had 28 degrees overnight, not awfully cold but enough to get a fire going, right now we have freezing fog.
My house doesn't hold heat. Neighbours' houses do; over the road does; but not mine. Fully insulated the loft a few years back: no difference. Carpets with thermal underlay: no difference. Thick curtains and other draught-proofing: no difference. New boiler and radiators: no difference. It's ley lines, I tell you! I'm used to it, now, and will probably overheat at my friends' houses.

yeah, wife has studied ley lines she's into all that.
we have a cast iron ESSE stove, its electric because the house is all electric, but its the only heat we need most times, we have a convector heater in the hall but only use that when its really cold.
we are only a few miles from Dartmoor and that's the direction our weather comes from, the sun has to come over the moors before it gets to us, the house faces East so we get the rising sun.

14deg right now, no moister, 38 for a high and sunny, snow forecasted for Tuesday and Wednesday
My lawn guy and a church group were scheduled for a camping trip this weekend. With it in the 20s they cancelled. That's just too cold to be out in the woods. I don't care how good the down sleeping bag is.
