First thing yesterday morning saw the temperature dropping to -3.6C
During the day it almost reached +3C with a slightly hazy sky and lots of Sunlight.
At least that meant no more snow but where many footpaths had been clear the day before, snow showers the previous evening gave them a covering again. That soon turned to ice as the snow was compressed by pedestrians. I'm getting good value from the ice spikes this year.
On our morning walkies we had a look down a track between fields
Standing in one field entrance I took a panoramic view looking towards the Lincolnshire Wolds
The 287 feet high tower and steeple of St. James,Louth parish church, was easily visible poking up. (a closer crop of the above photo) I've not seen it so clearly on a photo taken from 6Km (3.7 miles) away.
On the return journey the Winter Sun was casting long shadows
Back home and a quick look at the raised pond complete with alligator and rabbit.
Yes. Frozen over as expected. Looking forward to Monday when temperatures are forecast to rise again. Last night they dipped down to -7.1C. All photos taken with a Canon G5X Mkii.
I am still enjoying this cold snap but dreading a week of slush and melt water. Very picturesque down your way.
ReplyDeleteJohn your pictures of my Homecounty gave me much pleasure. As a child I spent many happy hours at High Farm in Tetford in The Wolds which was kept by mu aunt and uncle.
