More Bonkers Weather

Sorry to be harping on about the weather again, but this winter is getting silly... December started with day after day of torrential rain, mostly accompanied by very strong winds which reached storm force one night – that’s 60 – 70 mph.

Eventually, that all died down, but then no more than 24 hours later, the Skye freezer had been turned up to maximum and we woke to windless sunny skies and a thick frost over everything. It had been -5C during the night, and daytime temperatures reached about +2C. Apart from the icy roads, this is pretty much perfect winter weather. It’s easy enough to wrap up warm, and it’s lovely to see the sun – and the Skye scenery!

But we had just two days of that, and now it’s all gone dull and drizzly again, and the temperature is up to at least 10C. I’m holding my breath wondering what we might expect next...
