The Frozen Island

I've been enjoying the snow, mainly from the warmth of my flat, but when I saw this photo on the BBC site I had an urge to go out. There are loads of beautiful snow photos everywhere on the web this week but none of them are mine. I need to remedy that as soon as I pluck up the courage to go outside and get over my fear of slipping on ice and ripping open the stitches from my operation last week (yes, I am a wimp). In the meantime, enjoy this NASA satellite photo from yesterday (7 January) of the whole country under a blanket of snow...
