Brrr
Yesterday, the forecast for overnight was -7C, so we were expecting our usual 'bloody cold' temperature of -10C or so.
Our weather station consistently reads a couple of degrees warmer than the actual temperature, and when Mike got up this morning it was saying -15C....
We weren't expecting it to be so cold, so we hadn't turned the outside water off or drained the pipes. Fingers crossed there are no problems when it eventually thaws, but this morning Mike ended up filling the water buckets in the house and carrying them out to the stableyard. I, meanwhile, learnt that it's harder to muck out when the poo is frozen solid, because it bounces off the fork rather than squishing into place on it.
We also had another inch or so of snow overnight, so we could see where a bunny had come looking for food:
Benny would very much like it if we stopped playing silly buggers and put the grass back:
Jo would have loved this weather, poor thing.
