He does take a great photo, doesn’t he?
Cloud does make it near-impossible to see the lights. Last night (and today) it was very overcast, and we didn’t even bother going out to try and see any lights. Off to Finland today, and stopping in to look at the Swedish Ice Hotel on the way.
You stay warm too! xx

But then if our supermarket friend drives one, it’s probably not quite the snowy bad boy I’ve been thinking it is. We saw some dog sleds a day or so ago – I’d love to try that!!

Lovely pictures . I heard yesterday that it might be possible to see the northern lights in the UK sometime this week but as we have lots of rain and cloud I would think it impossible.
Keep warm
Margaret xx

I had heard of ‘hoar frost’, but with my previously non-existent experience of sub-zero living, it never even occurred to me to wonder what it actually was. We have noticed it in some places in our travels, and then not in others. So when it’s present, does that mean it’s colder there?

Love the snow angel ! x

The ice crystals on the trees are called hoar frost this side of the Atlantic and it is a wondrous beauty when patched against a blue sky! It was +6 when I got up this morning, it will soon be -23C this evening. Winter is a world of its own.
