Problems with my FitBit Ionic forced me to factory reset, and that even didn't work.
Basically, my Ionic will not connect to my phone after a firmware update. Before the firmware update, I can connect to setup the device, but after the firmware update completes, and the device reboots, it won't connect.
Snow is starting to melt and it's been drizzling, but not cold enough for the rain to freeze.
Really cold evening walking out. The snow is still mostly there, parts of it have melted, others have not. There's a distinct lack of grit on most of the pavements, even on the steep part of the hill where I live.
Walk had to be slower than normal, with the occasional slip.
Early morning shopping today, and while we were forecast for ice, there was none on my car. Temperature varied between 0 and 2 degC, so potentially-icy but no ice.
Did my walk today at the usual time, and was still pretty damn cold, but manageable.
Grey skies, looks like it's going to rain....
And it did, briefly. Didn't get too wet, though.
Went for my walk a bit earlier today, warmer but still chilly.
Went without my woolly hat and gloves for the second half of the walk.
Evening walk, and with a storm coming in, it's wet and windy too. Gone dark much earlier than usual.
Evening walk, temperature dropped again. But doable.
Walked my normal lap -- lighter today than usual, and not as cold. Spotted three ambulances outside a house during the walk. This house has had ambulances outside them multiple times during the pandemic. Maybe someone elderly or mobility impaired lives there? But that wouldn't explain having three ambulances.
Yesterday it was snowing when I was doing the weekly shop and I almost slipped as I unloaded the shopping out of the car. The snow didn't really settle though, so we were relatively safe, and the gritters were out in force in the early hours of the morning.
Another cold day walking. Went past a warehouse that used to have a balloons and party shop.
Now turned into a ScrewFix.
Pandemic has claimed another commercial victim.
Forgot to log yesterday's walk.
Both yesterday and today was raining, today more heavily than yesterday. Shorter distance than normal as a result.
Missed logging yesterday's walk, so logging both today. Generally a warmer evening, still needed my wooly hat, but could do away with not wearing gloves. Nose is still running from the cold, but it's definitely not as cold as it has been recently.
Another slightly earlier walk, still hold, thicker layer of frost on the car today.
Was on call this week and got a callout overnight... which fixed itself within 20 minutes. Twice.
Decided to do my Saturday walk earlier -- while it was light. Still freezing cold. When I did the shop this morning, it was -1degC in the car, and we had a light sprinkling of snow (nothing the wipers and window seals couldn't get rid of, though)
Getting still lighter at 4pm when I do my walk.
Back in lockdown again, so will only be able to leave the house for walks and the weekly shop.
A cold and wet day for walking. Only made 2km before getting rained out. It was supposed to be snowing today, but hasn't yet.
Slightly later walk, and still just as cold. Slightly drizzly rain, but not heavy.
The evenings are getting lighter. I went out for my walk at the normal time and it wasn't dark yet.
Literally "light on the horizon"
New Years Day walk. Very quiet, minimal traffic, but the supermarkets were all open still. Drizzly rain, but not heavy.
Another freezing day for walking and again my nose started running half way through. All the cars iced up this morning, so I'm expecting similar on Saturday when I'm out doing the morning shop.
Normal time for walking, and it was dark. And cold. Freezing cold. It could have snowed and I would not have been surprised.
My nose started running just 1.5 km into the walk, that's how cold it was.
Another slightly early walk day, it was absolutely freezing today, snow in some places, but not here, just a layer of frost.
Bank Holiday today.
Gloves and wooly hat weather.
Went out for my walk a bit early, with a bit of daylight still. Still quiet, since it's a Sunday.
Boxing Day walk and the main shops were open again: Co-Op, Sainsbury's, Tesco. Another cold and wet day, and there's talk of a storm coming in towards the tail end of today. We'll see how that goes.
