We are well and truly in the grip of Siberian weather! It started snowing in earnest on Tuesday afternoon, and has subsequently laid sufficiently to make transport a bit of an issue. Being on the side of a hill our drive is quite steep, then our road slopes down, joins another which continues the downward journey - and guess what, the return journey is all uphill!! Given that our roads are too minor to be gritted as a priority, winter weather produces a challenge!
It has to be said that this type of weather is usually a once a decade event, but given the length of last winter's harsh temperatures and continual snow cover, and now this early start, one wonders if 'climate change' is truly becoming a major problem.
