-20C (-4F) and we'll get a sunny day. Too bad it is so cold that we can't take a morning walk, I don't want to destroy my dogs paws.

Snow. I noticed tiny, tiny snowflakes yesterday evening just before going to bed and this morning they had grown a bit bigger and multiplied a lot. They don’t fall down though, they fall sid…

I said to myself it sounds as if the ice cream lorry is going down the road and it was :-)

Almost all snow was gone and the icy spots were easy to see. Well no longer so, we'll get up to 10 cm (4 inches) of more snow today and the eastern winds just won't give up.

A bit less cold today. Another sunny, beautiful and cold day. Not even close to how cold it was yesterday but cold enough to keep the air dry and therefore not feeling how cold it actually was when we had our morning wal…

Another amazingly but cold day here in the village but now it'll slowly turn towards warmer again, I'm so happy about that 😁

After nasty cold comes snowstorm and then rain. I can’t pretend to look forward to the coming snowstorm and the following warmer temperatures with what looks like lots of rain but it’s sure better than the -18 C (-0,4 F) we had thi…

I do hope the rest of winter will be less cold but February is usually the coldest month here.

The Cottage by the crane lake. The temperature had dropped down to -15 C (5 F) during the night but when I had to clean the car from all snow, I think there was at least 30 cm (12 inches) of snow at the roof of the car it has be…

Too cold for my taste but it is nice to stay indoors reading or watching tv on those days.

The Cottage by the crane lake. The wind did blow pretty hard when I woke up early this morning and it also snowed pretty much and towards my entrance door, so it looked like we had gotten much more snow than it actually was. Sti…

We had a little snow storm here during the night and early morning, thankfully only light and fluffy snow but I still don't like it. Some sunshine as well but the snow came back.

The Cottage by the crane lake. It was snowing when we woke up and went out to the garden this morning, mostly tiny flakes though so the roads are white but barely no snow can be seen in the fields. Pretty cold outside but it was…

Cold, windy and snow, not a favorite combination for me :-) Still it was nice when the wind didn't reach us. Malkolm thought a winter bath would be great 😄
