We had a decent amount (for Hereford) of snow last night and it was predicted. The next three photos were taken at midnight (4th January 2025) without flash, with flash and using night mode on my Pixel 7 Pro.

Interestingly, the file size for the flash photo was about 30% bigger.
The following day I was unable to go river testing as the under wheel conditions were not good for cycling. Fortunately, my two fellow testers who live within walking distance were able to cover my site today. Temperatures are forecast to rise (9 ℃) during the day so the snow is not expected to last long. However, we will be returning to overnight freezing temperatures over the next week or so which could lead to icy road conditions if the snow does not disappear completely.

This morning I added a couple of hot water bottles to my
HotBin as it is struggling to maintain temperature (currently around 30 - 35 ℃). I expect to have to do this daily for the foreseeable future until I can get the HotBin operating above 50 ℃.
The wellie footprints are mine, the bird footprints almost certainly that of a wood pigeon looking for fallen seed fallen from the bird feeder.
