White Christmas?

Had a mini blizzard mid-morning making the ground even more slippery, sticky &  mucky. Normally wouldn't have been too much of an issue as the contractors were 'simply' putting an empty 1-2cm cable in the outer 4cm cable. However somewhere there was a problem & the digger had to be used to dig up a good 10m section again. See extra photo

They cut the outer pipe and without doing anything else suddenly it could be fed through. Remains a mystery as to what had caused the blockage. Sadly field churned up a bit more.

The long term weather forecast is we will have a very brown Christmas.
