Over the last forty-eight hours we've had snow showers brought in on a westerly and northwesterly wind, and the temperature has dropped at night to -3C. In the clear intervals the scenery is breathtaking, and it's good to see that, with the schools closed, some youngsters are tobogganing on the steep slope near the astroturf pitch.
However, for those trying to get to work on such a morning....
....the roads are in a mess - this is the A9 northbound where it enters Golspie, which had just been gritted but where the traffic was further hampered by road works.
I had cause to walk along Back Road this morning which, as its name suggest, runs along the back of Golspie between the houses and the railway line. For some reason the woodland on the right of the picture is a favourite haunt at this time of year of....
....a small flock of redwings visiting us from Scandinavia.
