Icicles

When all this snow and ice is gone the gutters are going to need fixing; every joint has icicles hanging from it.

Dunnock

Depending on your politics this is either a dunnock , a hedge sparrow or a hedge accentor, possibly a hedge warbler. Either way it's a pretty enough little brown thing with a complicated social life and sexual habits you wouldn't believe.
Normally they creep around under bushes but the cold weather brought them closer to the bird table and the camera.
I thank Margot Juby for letting me use this photo.

Snowman

There's over 15 inches/38 centimetres of snow in my  drive way, the roads and footpaths are a mess. Public transport has halted. So I'm not going far. This delightful snowman was just across the road so it was no problem to photograph it.

Feed the birds

It is important in snowy conditions to remember to feed the birds, they lose heat ever so quickly especially under an avalanche like this.
