That first frozen tailgate of the season.

[Malxwal]

As per, up and coffee'd, dogs out of kennels, truck warming up, rifle etc onboard. And at the last moment, when you go to put the mutt in the truck, there it is, the first frozen tailgate of the year....

Remember, the carbon dioxide induced ‘global warming’ is saving us Grampian grumps from a much worse experience, Malc.

Btw try a smear on/off of silicone grease around the rubber door seals, don’t ask me how I know…

-5c here this morning. Winter's on it's way......

Frosted screen here in Angus too. Minus three at 7am. Winter has come

We have just had rain for the last 24 hours - 38mm here so far but further west I hear it’s much heavier - kind of the consequence of warmer air @Freeforester, in that it holds more moisture.

I had to have a door mechanism replaced because someone wrenched it when frozen solid. Ive since tried normal mineral/lithium grease on the door, but wasn't that impressed. Is silicon grease better?

 

[Malxwal]

This was actually the lock mechanism itself full of moisture frozen solid.

Today has been one of the wettest persistent days I can ever remember - and I grew up in Snowdonia!!

A tale of two weather patterns, one distinctly different from the other; yours emanating from the Low coming in off the Azores, ours more arctic in origin. Weather.

For the interested, a ‘poacher turned gamekeeper’ ( ex climate alarmist industry whistleblower) describing the irrefutable facts surrounding the impossibility of carbon dioxide, irrespective of origin, impacting the climate as is claimed by the alarmistas; tldr: it’s the Sun, not us:

It certainly seems to let go in frosty times, I’ve never tried the normal stuff though so I can’t compare.

Use the left over Vaseline from your naughty games.

Use the left over Vaseline from your naughty games.

After use or before?

I chucked out three buckets of wheat for the ducks this morning and there was the start of ice on the north end of the wetland. Last duck shoot tomorrow and I think by the end of the week the whole wetland will be frozen over. Lovely frosty, sunny morning when I was out walking the dogs in the forest.
Snow forecast in the next couple of days. Will change to Winter tyres on the car tomorrow.

How’s the sand? Must be hard with your head permanently buried in it!!

As before, an interesting look at just how exceedingly small the carbon dioxide factor is, this time against the El Niño Southern Ossilation (ENSO); to all intents and purposes, its impact can be ignored… stay blissful, Tringy
