NOVEMBER Cranreuch Cranreuch is white frost. It maks the roads and pavements skitie. Ye need tae hap yersel weel in weather like this, in a bunnet and gravat. Pit pawkies on yer haunds or yer fingers'll dirl wi the cauld. Noo is the time tae pit oot food for the birds and mind tae pit oot fresh watter for them as weel because the pond will be frozen ower. This wird comes frae Gaelic. The wird for white frost that comes frae Auld English is Rime. When the girse is aw rimy, ye can see the ice crystals on ilka blade.
