It was a very cold start to the day, frost even reaching under the trees in Big Wood. But the morning sunrise was for a time full of promise for the day. After the past few dull drab days we had a degree of hope for better. But alas that sunrise quickly fizzled out to nothing leaving just another dull damp day.
By the time we reached the Pines a damp greyness was seeping through the woods.

The Lake has not been frozen that often this winter but today was one of the few days when Ice ruled the waves…

The immediate forecast is for wet weather, strong winds…becoming milder, then towards the end of the month severe cold weather with heavy snow. Joy of Joys
