feemcg Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 This is the 3rd morning in a row I've had to bring all the drinkers into the kitchen - the outside tap is frozen too My garden is white with a thick blanket of frost, as if it's been snowing, which is very pretty but it's sooooo cooold and not to be out of the 'minuses' till Friday . I really need to jet wash the pink eglu too as the ducks are so stinky (their poo smells of fish ,why is that? ) Sorry, moan over, I should be grateful it's not wet and windy!

The Dogmother Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Ooo, lovely Fee! I love the bitter cold and frost/snow. What I really hate is the damp darkness that we have down here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Oh yes, love a bit of frost. Saves getting mud on the bottom of my pj's when I go to let the girls out It's lovely and fresh. Being stuck in the office all day with a blocked up nose is awful, a minute in the tingling cold and I'm breathing easily again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Moderate here too, light frost on front windscreen but the rest of the car was clear. Water wasn't frozen either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Coming home from my meal out last night I had to defrost my car at 11pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 It has been frosty here since Sunday. It does look very pretty I have been defrosting the glugs with a kettle of hot water in the mornings. The chickens seem to like a warm drink in the morning. Since Sunday I have used one a half bottles of de-icer on the car windowscreen. I really must remember to put some some antifreezing screen wash in the car windowscreen washer bottle as that has been frozen since Sunday as well.

CatsCube Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Ali save on the de=icer and just pour a jug of very slightly warm water over your windows. A lot quicker and it demists as well as deices. Just dont use hot water or your break your windscreen! I use a boiled kettle on the glug too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Cold, cold, cold here. Feels like the arctic, although at least it's dry and we've had fleeting glimpses of the sun between all that grey cloud. I've had to s"Ooops, word censored!"e ice off the car every morning this week . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 It has been lovely here today. The Hens were sunbathing for about an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Yes, here too. the sun has been low, but there all the same. It's going cold again now. I've just been and raided Darren's wardrobe for a jumper that will fit over my bump as non of mine fit anymore. the heating is on too and it's still cold. Bbbrrrrrrrrr. Definitely getting the fire going tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Is it just me, or do other people decide to clean out their hens at 4pm when it's getting even colder? I even hosed down the patio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Minus 4.5C on the way to work this morning. Looks loverly - frosty fields and gardens. Didn't get above freezing today at all. I feel for my poor chickadoodles - their water froze during the day and the plastic-backed blanket ( ) over their eglu was white and solid .
