Sorry to be harping on about the weather again, but this
winter is getting silly... December started with day after day of torrential
rain, mostly accompanied by very strong winds which reached storm force one
night – that’s 60 – 70 mph.
Eventually, that all died down, but then no more than 24 hours later, the
Skye freezer had been turned up to maximum and we woke to windless sunny skies
and a thick frost over everything. It had been -5C during the night, and
daytime temperatures reached about +2C. Apart from the icy roads, this is
pretty much perfect winter weather. It’s easy enough to wrap up warm, and it’s
lovely to see the sun – and the Skye scenery!
But we had just two days of that, and now it’s all gone dull
and drizzly again, and the temperature is up to at least 10C. I’m holding my
breath wondering what we might expect next...
