It got down to minus five, or probably worse, ha ha, this morning.
Needless to say the bird baths and water dishes had frozen over...
Removing the ice is fairly simple - slide a pocket knife blade down the side of the dish and lever gently...
Even on a day like today when the ice was a good centimetre and a half thick it'll still pop out, with a little bit of patient wiggling, ha ha.
Except for one water dish...
The ice was not going to budge...
Once I'd taken the dish down, upended it and given it a decent tap, it was no surprise that the ice wasn't going to leave the dish in a hurry - it had all but frozen solid...
It did occur to me to take a photo of it, some seven or eight hours later, by which time it had melted away... ha ha.

Ooak, cold is cold... After a while the numbers don't matter anymore...
It all comes down to the level of inconvenience that comes with the cold - frozen bird baths, iced over car windscreens, fingers that are so cold and numb that I've had to go back and fix the typos in this more than once, ha ha.
I feel sorry for the old bald birds, I know they've survived past Winters but that doesn't make being cold, now, any easier.
I haven't seen them for a few days, a couple of the old men have been round, but not the bald ones...
The easiest thing to do is see what the days bring... and have a supply of their favourite food on hand, just in case they decide to drop round... ha ha.
