The ivy is covered with the thick snow. ...during the ice rain, the snow works like an umbrella. Thus, dear Lena, the ivy is not frozen by the rain :-)
The sky is colorless grey and the snow has covered all colours. :-) On the week-end the snow had melted almost completely, but tonight it has anew been snowing ~10 cms!
I have noticed that! I have just finished watching your couch video! I am speachless! The speed and the cycling just going on and on! Where are you hiding the engine?
