Clear water

This is the last patch of the lake not frozen,as you can see the ducks swim about to keep it unfrozen. Crisp and cold again, we have now had 17 days of subzero weather, nights as low as minus12° daytime,in the sun, upto plus 3 or 4°C. Just the snow is missing, well here anyway, farther East they have good skiing conditions, upto 30cm of new snow, and it should last intil the end of January, a proper Winter !!
