Thaw

After having had snow on the ground for more than a fortnight, by far the longest cold snap we've had in the 10 years we've been living in Cornwall, it seems that the weather has finally turned - the wet and windy stuff is coming up from the south, and most of the lying snow and ice has melted since yesterday evening. We've been out grocery shopping this morning, and it was nice to be able to drive (and indeed walk) around without worrying about suddenly going sideways after hitting a patch of ice. With the not too welcome prospect of my returning to work on Wednesday, at least it seems that the weather, and associated travelling conditions, will be one less thing to worry about.

Love & best wishes to all

  1. Ah yes, the thaw...it's about 38degF here, so the 6" we got yesterday is liquidating quickly. I have another week before returning to work, though I am venturing out shortly to do some shopping. Be careful out there, it's the complacent that find the icy patches at 50mph!

    Peace <3

  2. Hello Jay
    The good old Cornish sunshine (the wet variety!) is here with a vengeance now, it's washed the last of the snow away. I hope that's the last of it for this winter, but I don't want to tempt fate.

    Love & best wishes
