It's still snowing.

We had a pasting through the night again so the first job this morning was to stick my head out of the skylights and brush it off the solar panels. Mind you, I needn't have bothered - I had just over 1 amp-hour of solar energy today. Thick grey clouds and the odd heavy snowfall was the order of the day, and I'm still snowed in..

Freezing cold as well - it stayed negative all day, even in the verandah and that's no surprise - the huge layer of snow on the roof is keeping any kind of heat away from the inside.

So I've tidied up a little more in the bedroom and fitted some temporary shelves in the wardrobe for putting the tools and so on. And then I fitted some more studding to one of the walls ready for some more insulation. I need to get a move on. I've also started to take out the old slate. It's going to take ages but it will take even longer if I don't do it. I've decided to take two bucket loads with me each time I go downstairs - that'll be a good plan.

When it was dark I went into the barn and did some more stuff in there until 18:00 and then I came in. I wasn't going to hang around in that cold weather. 5.1°C it was up here but an hour of the little stove going full pelt soon put that right.

But when will it ever end?
