All white now

On Tuesday the surface water of lake finally froze over. There was one small patch of water further up from us which was surrounded by swans and ducks, but otherwise it was all icy. Yesterday we had another inch or so of snow, so it's all white now, instead of the glassy sheen of Tuesday. We're due for a brief warm snap this weekend (our white Christmas may not be assured!), so it may well melt again before re-freezing for the winter.
