It still remains cold and snowy. The outside temperature has climbed to a balmy 0C after being -9C yesterday afternoon. The day has not been as restful as I had hoped. Due to a misaligned kitchen tap (which has to be left running to avoid freezing up) I came downstairs to find water across the kitchen floor and in the under-sink cupboard. That cupboard was a bit in need of a sort out anyway but the water made it 10x worse. A big clean up operation (by self) followed, including scrubbing things in the icy stream and now I'm determined to spend the evening relaxing. 
The cold conditions outside have caused ice crystals to grow from the surface of the snow. Very pretty but hard to photograph.
Paul has finally put some salt down to make a clear walking path up the hill and has driven his Discovery down to his house. Our vehicles remain right at the top of the drive. We haven't walked up the hill today so don't know how much of the snow drifts remain on the drive up to the road. Perhaps an expedition up the road tomorrow to check out conditions.
