A slight ground frost this morning after a clear, starry night. Sun all day today, a really lovely day and another clear, cold, calm night. No complaints!
A chinook has swooped down off the mountains giving Calgary a much needed blast of warm Pacific air. It's been above freezing for the past few days and several more warm days ahead. Went out biking along the river. Good thing I remembered to put the back fender on, it was very icy to begin with but soon turned to slush and mud..
-6C at 8:30 and bright and sunny. So dry that the frost is there but largely invisible. Wind chill factor too so perishing out there. Should get positive this pm but not for long. More of the same forecast all weekend. No gardening then.
Clear skies at night and a waning, late rising moon do make for fabulous starry skies.

Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Grey and drizzly yet again in Cheshire though still warm for January. I would much prefer bright and frosty but we have to put up with whatever comes our way. OH bought me some daffodils this morning so they will certainly cheer me up.
Will be another above freezing day. Another coffee and then I'll grab some bird seed out of my garage, hop on my bike, ride along the river and see how many birds I can get to eat out of my hand. It was so cold for so long and so much snow. All I seemed to be doing was shoveling snow everyday, for me and six elderly people along my street. I think cabin fever set in, I was gloomy and not very chatty. Warmer days, getting on my bike and life is good again!

Full sun all day, but a cold wind - good gardening weather and cold GH doors open until 15.00 hrs.
