Saturday saw the start of the thaw. Not that it became mild but with a maximum temperature during the day of around 3°C a slow thaw started. The day itself was dull and cloudy but dry. This is where keeping accurate weather records gets a little tricky as the 4.1mm of rain recorded today was melting snow which fell on the 1st December. I don’t even know if all the snow has thawed from the rain gauge and I’m not going to get my steps out of the garage to find out.
Worryingly the forecast for next week is a return to some extremely cold nights again, so the fact we will be without heating is not something I’m relishing.
Despite the thaw our bird bath still keeps freezing over even with copious amounts of hot water added throughout the day. The birds seem to manage to gobble up all the seed left out for them a couple of times each day. Peanuts left out on the bird table are especially popular saving the hassle of winkling them out the peanut feeder. This sparrow was still to sort out the easy way.
