Chickens were standing in the snow this morning looking at me, really confused and moaning.  The're definitely British, moaning about the weather whenever they can.    A little bit of cracked corn and their spirits brightened.

I've just been out defrosting the bird baths! No snow here but a fairly decent frost. Brrr!

We hit -4 here this morning but no snow.  :\\\'( I'd rather have snow than ice any day! Ice prevents me from my daily walks through the village and forces me to use the elliptical. It's noisy and the screen doesn't work now. I need to learn to ice skate  :D

Can confirm : did figure skating as a kid and still go for at least one free skate session a year......but did NOT fare well the other day when walking the dog down an icey path LOL

I too woke up to snow on my car. Thankfully my husband is awesome and he defrosted and warmed my car for me which was appreciated as I had an exceptionally early day today (I'm in London today) and it was super cold lol.

Right nippy here this morning. Appears to be freezing mist outside, as I cannot see down the block.
Good day to NOT go out.

Attaching photo from early yesterday morning. Very pretty. I think it was yesterday. Might have been Tuesday? They're all blending together....
