deep winter

Please accept my excuses for not going outside these days - again nothing fresh here on the blog but something from the archives.

We've got 5 to 15 degrees Celsius below zero, plus fierce north-easterly winds, plus a few centimetres of snow which get blown around in snowdrifts so that you cannot even go cross-country skiing, as there are vast patches of ground barely covered in snow while in other parts snowdrifts are half a metre deep, or even deeper.

But it should be milder tomorrow or on sunday, with a cosy minus 5 and a mere wind force of 3 to 4. Possibly you'll see something new then, here on this blog.
