Tuesday was a continuation of the cold spell with another day with an average temperature below zero. Once again we had plenty of sunshine.
The continuing cold weather had resulted in a thin ice forming over our pond. At this time of year it doesn’t get any sunshine and four nights with temperatures below minus 4°C have taken their toll.
As forecast though the weather changed overnight with the temperature starting to rise quickly late in the evening and continuing through the early hours to reach double figures by 10:00 Wednesday morning. Our first cold snap of winter has ended just as abruptly as it started.
Thank goodness the frost's gone. My pond is only tiny and so it's been frozen solid since Saturday. I haven't checked today but I bet it's thawed now, it's much warmer today.
ReplyDeleteNow I've seen that forecast for the possibility of light snow at the weekend. Perhaps it will miss us!
