The Big Freeze in Scotland!
Happy New Year to everyone in Denmark and Finland!
We were supposed to start back at school yesterday, but it has been VERY cold in Scotland over the holidays, and we have had lots of snow.
On the TV, they are saying that it has been the coldest winter for almost 30 years here!
Although the children were off school today, some of the teachers got to school, and Mr Purves took these pictures of the playground and around the village. The temperature this morning in Gifford was -13C at 9am.

The entrance to the playground!
Our janitor Alan had cleared a path through the snow in the playground. The snow is more than 40cm deep here!
Looking back to the car park from the school.
You can see how deep it is here!
In the village, there are lots of icicles like these.

Danger of falling icicles!
This man was digging his car out of the snow at 3pm this afternoon!
More icicles.
You have seen this photo before, in the spring time. It's certainly different now!
Watch your head!
