Today I realised just how much of a frost pocket/dip we live in. I drove to the local town, just 4 miles away, over the hill, for a swim and it was 7 degrees above (44 Fahrenheit) when I left the pool at 10 at night.
And then on our land we have areas that are even colder. Doing the water for the chickens this morning it was actually painful on my fingers by the time I'd done the rounds.
It's interesting seeing which bits still have snow on the ground and which bits are untouched by the sun, it clearly shows our micro climates and it's probably information I should do more with!
Both fires are burning away inside though, so we're toasty warm, while I sit and plan out next years (or they year afters) firewood.
Who else lives in a frost pocket?
