Thaw

Last night saw a huge amount of snow fall yet again.  As we looked out at about 10pm it was falling heavily and it looked like we would be waking up to another few inches this morning.  However, looking out at about 8.30 this morning, the icicles were dripping, the gutters were dripping and the roofs were dripping all around us as a thaw had set in.  The temperature has struggled above 2ºC for the first time in a week or more - but it still looks white all over.
After cleaning through the house this morning, we decided to put up our Christmas tree (way too exciting!  I might have to have a lay down).  So, it really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  You can even see my reflection in the gold bauble - if you dare to look!
It's all very festive - even Malcolm is getting a bit 'Christmassy'.
