More snow overnight but only 6 inches or so, which still means we're buried. So dug the van out, chatted to the locals and neighbours and went for a walk. Wandered to the snow gate which unsurprisingly is closed with a gaggle of mountain rescue and snow ploughs parked up.
The plan was to wade up to the pub for a swift half, but that doesn't open until 5, so we've come to the cafe for coffee / hot chocolate and cake, which seems a reasonable compromise. So we're sat in the cafe watching the bird tables covered in chaffinch, greenfinch and various tits! Dave saw a red squirrel up here yesterday and apparentlty there was a pine martin scavenging earlier today. The ducks that roost down below have gone for a swim.
