The snow did bring it's own problems though.
I decided I needed to do some washing as I was running out of socks..
And I hung it in the porch thinking that was warm enough, but it all froze solid! (note the icicles on the tea towel) haha
And then my water froze up again. So I resorted to melting snow, it takes an unbelievable amount of snow to get just a few inches of water!! I felt like I was spending half the day going back and forth scooping snow off the car.
Unusual way of filling the kettle...haha
My snow melting and then heating up for washing up water.
It has started to melt now and turn to mush and my pipes also have thawed out so we have water back.
On a positive note, my woodburner has been totally fab in keeping the cabin warm, even when it was -15C windchill it was toasty inside!
Yikes. I'm wondering if you can store some water inside - there's a fair way to go to the other side of winter yet. Glad that stove is doing its job though - they're wonderful.
ReplyDeleteDon't the dogs just love the snow though? Our German Shepherd turns into a puppy again the minute it starts settling - hilarious.
Stay warm! - Andy
Hi Andy, yes snow seems to turn dogs into puppies again. haha
ReplyDeleteI have a 5 litre demijon filled with water and a couple of 2 litre bottles..I melted the snow for washing up water mostly but otherwise the bottled stuff would last the dogs and I for a day or 2. Am going to properly lag all the pipes now so hopefully it won't happen again!
i am just overwhelmed by your blog. it rendered me speechless!
