Even the sun is cold....

At least the days are starting to get longer and soon the snow will melt and the warmth return..... please.

Icicles on the coast

It is rare to see water remaining frozen so close the the north channel. It is especially rare to have icicles remaining in situ on the chalk face for such a considerable time.

Might have to change to bright yellow balls!

Our little bit of heaven on the north coast (RPGC) is out of action due to the snow. It is rare for a links course so close to the sea to be out of action or suffering from perma-frozen turf for so long.
The third hole has been using a temporary green for some time as the green staff refurbish the surface. Recently it has been looking lush green and coming along nicely for the new season. At the moment it is like all the rest... frozen.

Sport abandonded because of snow...

The pitches at the Joey Dunlop Centre - Riada Stadium are looking very deserted with the perma-frozen subsoil and a blanket of snow preventing the games going ahead.
