Snow and wind now.

And again!  More snow this morning above Mecina Bombaron,  down to el Golco,  and covering the Contraviesa to the south as well and snow in the air here.  Although I think the snow that was blowing around here was coming down from the north with the wind.

the Contraviesa this morning

towards Mecina

and el Golco

Wow,  is it chilly!   Northerly winds blowing with  40 kph  gusts,  according to the weather forecast,  but it seems pretty constant to us.  Looking out the window it is a lovely sunny clear day but a different story when you go out.  Hood up,  gloves on,  sunglasses as it's so bright,  walk fast to keep warm.

Mecina Bombaron is about 1100 metres above sea level whereas we at Montenegro are 890 m,  so this is the best the snow could do here...

More like a touch of frost than snow!

A quick trip to the compost heaps this morning followed by a quick look at what is left of the vegetables and fruits - the broad beans are ok despite the wind,  some of the leaves of the early potatoes have caught the frost,  the stems of the Jerusalem artichokes are cut right down so no worries there,  surprisingly though there were some strawberries for picking and lots of flowers,  also lots of cape gooseberries too.  Only 3 ripe enough to pick as the casing has to be brown and papery but a couple of dozen more ripening.  The strawberries may be very small but are very tasty.
