More snow in Aberdeen

Most of the snow melted yesterday but then it snowed again overnight so there are beautiful scenes outside again today.

I wish we had more days like this each winter but I guess Aberdeen is too close to the sea and the mercury mostly hovers above 0°C over the winter. Still, I really love the climate here. One perk is that water comes out of the tap cold. I love that. It’s a pain having to fill up jugs of water and put them in the fridge because cold water tastes way better than warm water … except when it’s in tea of course 🙂

    That much snow I could handle and enjoy. What we have right now and the -15℃ feels like -24℃ is not my ideal.

      I’ve never experienced cold that cold. It hasn’t gone below -4C since we moved here and that was just overnight when we were all tucked up in bed.

        Wait till it gets to -20°C, but it’s usually still when it gets that low.

        Does it ever get that cold here? I think we’re too close to the sea for that. Maybe inland from here but not in the city itself. I could be wrong though 🙂

        If we get a cold still period the cold ai sinks down from the mountains, the coldest I’ve known it was under -25°C.

    Wow. Beautiful. Enjoy while it lasts 🙂

    I think few weeks of months of this kind of snow is better than nothing or too much of snow. That way you get to experience every season.

    That’s perfect snow – you want it to melt away each night and then reappear so it doesn’t get dirty or icy.

      Yes, that would be nice! It’s mostly gone now and I don’t think we’ll be getting any more tonight.
