chopped the logs and set the fire. All the wee ones have hot water
bottles on their laps for tea time. I always feel sorry for the
Shetland but i guess he shruggs it all off?

I am sure that the newsgroup will have a few spelling mistakes this
evening as many fingers will be crossed regarding recording low
temperatures. I have already seen myself unlocking the screen to read
-30 C tomorrow, i can see it now...

I reckon you'll struggle to get a record tonight. There's some
slightly warmer and cloudier air making its way round the high towards
you. Altnaharra is 13 degrees warmer than this time yesterday. I'm
not suggesting you will see a similar rise, but you may well find that
cloud will interfere with your overnight cooling.
