SNAPPY.

 This is exciting, we have a sufficiency of snow and it looks as if it'll be here for a while. The Highways have ploughed and gritted the glen for which they deserve due praise. Unfortunately they did it first thing before the heavy snow started so it's filled in again. Next we will hear is that they've run out of salt and grit. Not that the salt does anything in really cold weather. I seem to recall that at < -5°C they should use urea but now that is all used up making Add-Blue to stop global warming.

I cleared the car off about ten anticipating a run to Kinross but I suspect my parcel is still in the DPD van as it's not been delivered yet. Lunchtime I dug the car out and cleared a track down to the yard. I cheated and used the Tele-Loader my days of shovelling vast amounts of snow are over.

Here are a few snaps.

Snow, snowing on a Eucalyptus tree.

The dogs returning from an expedition. I've no idea where they'd been but they like to check everything is still where it should be.

A bright spell.

The car was about ready to roll but It's now snowed in again. Not to worry I can always start again in the morning.

This has the makings of a proper winter, the ones where one started running out of places to pile snow. As you can probably tell the novelty hasn't started to wear thin yet. Give it another week and I can see special words being uttered at the sight of a snowflake.

I'll leave you with a picture of a power mad idiot.

So stupid he doesn't realise she's gone, not to worry he looks to be enjoying himself.

Have fun.
