To sum up the 22nd of February, 2026:
The day was not ideal neither for walking, nor for a barbecue picnic.
What gave these two the idea to even try, I can't imagine! (I zoomed them in from afar.)
Yesterday afternoon, it rained on the snow, and then the slush froze over night. I tried a short walk around noon today; but even with my studded boots on, and two walking poles, I soon felt I had better make it very short...
This afternoon, it has been snowing on top of the ice, and more is to be expected during the night. So my guess is that tomorrow won't be ideal for outdoors activity either.

Oh my goodness. That has made me shiver.
ReplyDeleteWe have had our first Spring-like day today. Sun and light winds ... and our daffodils are out.
Then the new snow will hide the ice underneath! Our next-door neighbors have a grill outside their back door, and cook outside even with deep snow!
