Only -5°C here, but even that does seem a little low for comfort

No telly tonight apart from a bit of Police Interceptors whilst dining. But I caught up on the final 24 hours of Apollo 14's mission on the realtime-plus-fifty-years Twitter feed
It's snowed and settled again here, though not very much; just enough to turn the pavements white
Goodnight all

Morning.
The hole people started at 7.01am today.
The pavements were white and crunchy underneath. I am waiting for it to turn into sheet ice tomorrow to see if there are any runners out like today. Though I won't be out.
Currently -1 degree and today's high is +2 degrees with a low of -7 degrees. That's because there is no rain."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Morning all
Clear blue sky this morning. I expect it ought to be dry out (notwithstanding any snow that may be lingering in patches) but my little patio is wet. The pattern suggests the caretaker has been up to something rather than the weather. Currently -1 ('feels like' -4) and it'll get up to 1 degree. The sun will stay out all day, unlikely to have any form of precipitation. Barometer up to 1003 mBar.
I slept through most of my alarm this morning. The radio goes off at 0700 and I didn't really come to until about 0740, maybe 0745, when they were interviewing the lawyer in the US who turned himself into a cat on Zoom. I don't get up before 0800 anyway so the over sleeping just means I didn't hear lots of stuff that would annoy me.

Walk walked.
Not so bitterly cold this morning since there's no wind & I wore some Lidl(tm) thick gloves so my hands were nice & toasty.
Occasional flake of snow observed.
And a dog who didn't like me.
Plus it's clouded over.
Lunch: poached tomato (not so much poached as nuked for 3 minutes in the poppety ping which cooks it rather more quickly) and scrambled egg on Morrisons sunflower and pumpkin seed toast (non crust), bramble jelly on same, yellow corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.
