It was looking a lot like Christmas yesterday morning, woke up to 5" of snow on the ground and very heavy snow fall. Everything looked White and Christmassy like many UK Christmas cards. I though my morning exercise was going to be tough going (that was an underestimation) but I was going out no mater what. Just about to go out at 9am when the power was cut off it didn't come back on until 4pm.
It didn't stop me going out, dressed for the weather out for just over 27 minutes had to fight through a blocked trail (weight of snow had brought some branches down). Several short power outages during the evening and the village was effectively cut off for the day.
This morning wasn't so bad cold, windy, Snow, ice and slush made for heavy going only out for 22 minutes this time as it was really tough going. Again lots of short power cuts so far today and outside clearing snow so I could get out.
