It began to snow on Sunday 17th January 2010.
The snow quickly settled as temperatures reached minus 24 degrees at night, and during the next 2 weeks struggled to reach more than minus 5 in the daytime.
As more snow fell and the temperature dropped the roads out of the vilage became impassible. The snow plough came through the village each day, but made little impression on the icy road.
We were able to get aroung the village on foot and the shop/bar is only 500 metres away, so we could buy bread -an Army truck delivered fresh bread every day to the shop. We had expected to have deep snow at some point, so we stocked up well in advance with tins of food, milk, water etc.
