The deck was a win for us for sure. It makes up for the lack of back yard. I wanted to have space to do a vegetable garden in the back but the yard is too small with not enough sun. Can't get everything, life is compromises I suppose.
How low of temperatures do you get there in the winter typically?
-10°C is pretty standard for us but it can go as low as in the negative twenties when we get cold snaps.
Ooft that is way worse than us. At it's peak we get an average of -6 to like 2 or 3° but recently that has all been fecked and we don't often get negative temps during the day and often we have been getting between 4 and 9 degrees which is unseasonably mild!
Yeah that's sort of what I imagined for Scotland. Its pretty similar to what we experienced in France when we were there. Winters in Canada are quite cold and very long. Spring comes in April so there's a long wait ahead 😅
It is kionda April for us too although the alst few years we have had a surprising amount of sunny spring like days in March which has been nice as thats when I try to prep my decking for the year ahead
We often get some good weather in March as well, hot and sunny, but its a false spring. Without fail we will get one last dumping of snow right at the end of the month lol
