I thought it was fairly mild over the weekend, the fog was kind of fun yesterday but it wasn't cold. Woke up this morning to snow showers and a cold biting wind.
Still it's only early Feb and I can remember snow on the ground in early April not so long ago.
I am wanting to get cracking in the garden though but I keep putting it off because it's too cold for messing about in mud right now.

It does have the benefit of keeping the pesky bitting critter's at bay.Think we are due for another cold snap this week,with the odd snow shower.
Weather has been great, unless your a couch bushcrafter of course, not long till the summer for the fearties

Loch Ard, my local stomp... well, local float! it was mostly thawed out but there were a couple of spots in the south eastern corners where the sun doesn't get to. The photo above was looking into the hidden loch

LOL that wasn't even the chunky stuff!! Difficult to see as there's nothing for scale but the sticky up bit was about 40mm out of the existing ice.
we couldn't break this stuff, it even took a chunk out of my indestructable ainsworth!

Havent seen any daffodils on my travels, no even council daffodils, they usually come out around here mid January.
saw some daffodil shoots today got a good 6 inches so far so i reckon flowers soon. not seen any snowdrops although i only know one very remote area they grow in round here so i'll have to check.
spring is on its way but its taking its time

I'm a gardener, this weather is killing me. last year i was harvesting rhubarb and spinach in february.
I just feel that Winter has been going on for too long now.
I am more than happy to admit I am a fair-weather camper. I am not a martyr. You hard core bushcrafters can have Winter to yourselves. I am not out to suffer, test myself, or endure.

Im not a hardcore camper and we have short winter's compared to other country's i much prefer this cold dry(ish) weather compared to wet damp stuff,personnley wish there was only two season's cold dry(not including snow and frost) winter's and hot summer's but like that's ever going to happen in good old Blighty.
Would much rather spend the winter in front of the fire at home than sitting out in the cold and wet!
Fed up with winter now too, it does seem like its been dragging on for ages now. Still, not long to go, end of March is when I will be starting this year.

Lol i know where your coming from Durulz, i was out at the end of Jan and it was damned cold at night, especially as we couldn't have a fire (well tbh the tent would have burned down around us) and we were on a campsite.
however i'm out again at the end of this month and we can at least have fire so we'll see how we go, i hope it warms up a touch at least.
