Day 20 of the Great Frost and Snow Festival

I'll put some pics up later when I get them off my camera. I woke up and it was broad daylight. Actually it was 1.24 am and it was snowing so heavily the sky was white; hence the daylight effect. So I stayed up for a while, had a cup of coffee and watched the Australians pulling the irons out of the fire against Pakistan to win. Pah!

Most of the country is under at least 6 inches of snow now. We've got about 10 inches as the hailstones rattle down again. That's what happened on the day before New Year's Eve. I've not seen unrelenting weather like this since 1981-2 and rumour has it we have another two weeks of it. This takes me back to 1963 when there were 11 weeks of sub-zero temperatures. I can remember that. I lost a welly in the field opposite our house when it got pulled off in the depth of snow.

It's quite ironic watching the cricket in South Africa now when the weather there is in the 40sC and we are in the 20sF.

Back later if I don't lose my connection like I did yesterday.
