Very cold again in the morning. Back roads still covered in snow & ice.

Very cold again. Had to run the fan heater continuously to keep warm - made air indoors very dry, RH down to 30%.

Bright, clear and cold - very cold.

Woke up to unusually bright light. Didn't make the connection, so when I opened the curtains, was surprised by an inch of snow. Hurried out on foot to Tescos to put my disposable camera in for developing and get another one for wintry pics.

Walked round to Dagmar's house in the afternoon - excellent walking weather, dry, cold and breezy with dark grey clouds.
