A wintery scene!

Well, this is what I woke up to this morning! Completely frozen in with ice almost half an inch thick in places...

Temperatures dipped to minus 5.5 degrees over night and a thick frost looked almost like snow. The ice hasn't melted all day in fact and temperatures are dropping again this evening. One casulty of the treachorous black ice down th elane was a Vauxhall Frontera - one of my neighbours in the marina who walked up and asked if I could pull him out of a ditch. When I arrived, he was well and truely in the ditch and I didn't think I would ever get him out but my faithful old Shogun made light work of it much to everyones relief!
