They are hundreds of metres from shore and the ice is too thin to walk. First time I've ever seen them here, or indeed anywhere!

 

 
We had far smaller, but kinda similar things on the loch before Christmas. But they ran in a sweeping line right across it. I took a picture but it’s pretty useless, never seen anything like it though. It was about 4-5” at the edges and quite walkable, probably less so in the middle.

Brass monkey weather Mr Stubby❄️ Yesterday was the first time this Winter that i didnt have to break the ice on the Chicken's water trough.Spring is on the horizon here and the temperature is going to rise rapidly over the months.Twas a beautiful start to the day.

Minus 11 this morning. Blue skies. The weather has been lovely for the last couple of weeks. We had snow 10 days ago, that's been very slowly melting each day as the temperature has been above freezing, but nights have been minus 4-7c. Clear skies throughout.

 

The weather is to change this week though, with significant snowfall forecast and the possibility of minus 15-20.

All the forecasts said snow to start at 17:00. 

 

Right on cue, 17:05, starts to snow. 

 

I am looking forward to Wednesday night's skiing on fresh powder!

Mediocre. Had a couple of good sites and a couple of bad ones. You're very much at the mercy of the harvester operator and how well they understand the limitations of a smaller machine. Most thinnings harvesters around here are Rottne H8s, which have very clever self levelling suspension. It's great for them, but can be very troublesome for the forwarder that follows, as an inattentive harvester operator might not notice the side slope or the massive rocks that get in the way.

Woke up this morning to snow all around on the high bits and rain on the low bits .
