.... yes, don't worry! It's just a small collection of older properties
that were built before (roughly) 1970. Prior to that time all
electricity supply was via overhead distribution and the 'sticky' snow
recently has brought some cables down.

Snow melting steadily: average 2 cm this morning but getting quite
moth-eaten in places. Wondering about tomorrow though - could be tricky
as any new snow (or even rain/sleet) will come down on top of great
slabs of compacted snowy-ice!

Martin.
