still it snows

Thu, Jan 7, 2010

This is the third day in a row we haven’t been able to get out of the village. Each night it dumps another couple of inches on the frozen ground. The crofters have moved the sheep onto the hill as there’s more food for the black faces up there although the others are starting to suffer. It looks beautiful but the lack of food is starting to show on some of the sheep.

The snow is unconsolidated and apparently there is much wind forecast next week which means it’s going to start blowing all over the place and the roads will get even worse. Just have to sit back and look at the view.
