The weather is changing ...



Wednesday to Friday we had smatterings of snow and I had to clear snow off the windscreen before I could go to work.
Well, at least it gives me time to look at the scene around me ...

Yesterday, it snowed all day long. I had quite a shock when I pulled off the road to let a car pass on the single-track-road: I always knew that wet meadows are not ideal for driving in and even the best 4x4s have problems driving in them ...
I drove off the road and onto a meadow covered in wet snow and, even though I'm using winter tyres, my car just slithered uncontrollably down the hill and refused to be braked until it left the meadow on the other side.
Luckily there wasn't much in my path, other than a wire fence (which didn't survive the encounter and which I hid afterwards).

To change the subject ...

This is what today's weather is doing:






Just in case you didn't really believe me — it is snowing!
