På torsdag hadde vi - 21 (minus) grader, og det var vært kaldt i hele helgen med - 20 grader i går også. Nå har det begynt å snø, og det skal det fortsette med i en hel uke eller mer. Ja, en skal visst være forsiktig med hva en ønsker seg. Jeg har jo ønsket meg snø siden før jul til å dekke plantene i hagen, og nå ser det ut som det kommer mer enn nok fremover.
Verandaen med litt solskinn den 10. januar.
Fuglene har spist veldig mye mat i kulden. De er konstant sultne, og det er en stor glede for meg å gi de mat selv om det er bitende kaldt når det er minus 20. Nå skal det bli mildere vær, og akkurat nå er det "bare" - 11,5 grad.
Som dere ser er det ikke mye snø på åsen, men det vil endre seg allerede i morgen. Jeg har lagt sammen det yr melder av snø, og det er ca. 60 mm/ cm vi kan få i løpet av ti dager. Jeg håper at de tar feil!
Dagen har blitt 3 timer og 20 minutter lengre siden vintersolverv. Det er ca. 3 miutter mer med dagslys hver dag akkurat nå. Den 18. januar er det nesten 4 minutter, så da begynner vi å merke at det går fremover mot våren!
Dear Marit!
SvarSlettYou’ve had quite a frost, here it has already warmed up (-8 C)! Indeed, it's wise to be careful what you wish for, though I hope for snow moderately for both you and us! The weather forecast predicts quite a lot of snow for your area, hopefully the forecast isn’t entirely accurate! Still, the sun is shining beautifully there. The lengthening of the days is already nicely noticeable; we’ve had several sunny days here. In the morning, three deer visited the vegetable garden, fortunately not in the yard. In the evening, there were two in the yard; I guess they’re coming to seek protection from predators in the yard.
All the best to You!
Hugs!
Dear Saila!
SlettYes, it have been very cold here this weekend, but now it's - 10. It feels much warmer already. Yes, indeed! I hope we don't get 60 cm with heavy snow. Moderately snow is absolutely best.
It's so lovely to see the sun, and the days are getting longer every day. It's so nice! I hope the deers stay away from your garden. Because of the net we have on the thuja hedge, they have not eaten on them so far. You have more predators than me. I hope the wolfs are far from your house.
All the best to you!
Hugs!
That’s a lot of snow in the forecast, Marit, and I hope that you are spared the worst of it. Snow in winter is wonderful, except when there is too much! It’s good that you are measuring the increasing hours of daylight. It’s a mental boost as we edge ever close to spring. Hugs and kisses - David
SvarSlettYes, it's very much snow they predict David, but they can be wrong too. Yes, I agree with you. Too much snow is not nice at all. I love to measure the daylight, and see how much daylight we get every day. As you say it's a mental boost. I try to not reed the news, because it's so depressing. The world have gone crazy, snd it's nothing we can do about it.
SlettHugs and kisses, Marit
