CoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooL

Maybe this year I'll get to build my igloo and sleep in it overnight.  It's been on the cards for over 4 years now and either due to lack of snow, or lack of motivation, it just hasn't happens yet  :(

looks like the mournes have a good dusting again, not enough for the ice axe, but enough for a few good photos  :)
