weather

Weather has been notable today. We have had winds gusting to 80kph, temperatures dropping during the day from just above freezing to minus 14C (with a windchill of minus 28C), some snow, more blowing snow causing white outs, flash freeze of all the melting we had yesterday. I took three pictures out the back.
The first is at 11:30 during a lull in the snow. You can see the trees are weighted down with ice.

The next is at 12:30 and doesn’t begin to capture the wind blowing the snow around and rattling the house, shaking the windows.

The final picture I just took at 2:30 when the sun suddenly came out and the ice sparkled.
