The winter is here

Coinciding with the arrival of cold air of Siberian origin, today it has snowed.



We have been advised of a strong drop in the temperatures between tonight and tomorrow. They say it will be historic. Just in case I have protected with a piece of wood the area over the place where the female hibernates, at shallow depth.

Woods covered with snow.


So far this winter, the lowest temperature occurred on January 13,14 and 15.  It reached  2,6ºC at 10 cm and 4,09ºC at 50 cm. Probably in the next days the temperatures will be much lower.


January temperatures at 10 cm


January temperatures at  50 cm

Temperatures at ground level in January

The turtles are very inactive now. I only saw the male twice in January, in the 19th and the 21st, sunbathing. I haven't seen the female since December the 15th.
