It snew. Predictably our road has not been gritted or otherwise cleared. The larger roads seem to have been mostly cleared, although possibly just by people driving on them; the pavements are still skating rinks and the cycle paths are snow drifts and/or slush piles. Snow is pretty really nasty to cycle on.

We took advantage of the outside being cold to defrost the freezer; huge chunks and sheets of ice removed :-) Tips for keeping the freezer ice-free welcomed.

Obligatory comment about using "snew" as the past tense of "snow". :o)

re: the freezer

The less you open the door and the shorter time you leave it open for the less warm air and therefore condensation gets in to build up ice.
Organising it so you know where stuff is and don't have to rummage helps with that.

They ice up less if they're full. Stuffing any space with bags of carrier bags or scrunched up nwespaper therefore helps.

Freezers can only ice up to the extent that there's water vapour in the atmosphere within. I gather open ice-cube trays are the key way to land oneself with heavy icing, having it relatively full of sealed containers then not opening the door much results in very little icing.
