ali-s Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 This is my weather. It is awful. Wind, snow showers and hail storms. Just to the right of the picture some daft idiot was walking along the top of the harbour wall Some of the waves were crashing the whole length of the harbour. The person was very lucky he didn't get swept away. I walked round the the other side of the harbour and spoke to the lad's parents, they are up here on holiday I got some impressive pictures of the actual sea but photobucket has changed it's instructions and I don't know how to resize them Sorry if this one is too large.

Blackrocksrock Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Wow ALi - great photo - we have had wind, rain, sleet, hail and snow to-day - not had any sunshine yet - girls huddled together and venture out of the run only when the wind goes down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Great pic Ali! We have a very strong northerly wind blowing here. It is bitterly cold, with horizontal rain and a small amount of sleet, mixed with patches of blue sky and sunshine . I was woken at about 5am by roaring gales, it was quite scary I really hope we get a summer this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 We have just had a 2 minute hail shower. I've never seen the hens run for cover so quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Great pic Ali - do you have any more? I love wild sea pictures! I took some many years ago in Morecambe, of the sea crashing over the prom We've had a lovely day here - boys have been playing in the garden all day, sunny but a bit chilly in the wind. Just a short spell of heavy rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Very cold but Sunny all day here Didn't get to make the lemon curd but did get to sort the garden storage boxes and shed and have created a new space at the side of the house.............will now ponder what can go there would like a small hot tub :D (but I don't think the bank manager would ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took some many years ago in Morecambe, of the sea crashing over the prom We've had a lovely day here - boys have been playing in the garden all day, sunny but a bit chilly in the wind. Just a short spell of heavy rain. I took about 10 pictures. Can't figure out the new photobucket instructions though. The wind was wild last night thankfully it has eased off a little today. Jack and a friend went on to the beach yesterday afternoon with a wind reading device (Jack told me the correct name for the device but I have gorgotten). The wind was blowing at 70 miles per hour. One gust registered 92 miles per hour and another gust registered 115 miles per hour . At that point they decided it wasn't safe on the beach and came home.

Eek It was blustery here as well last night, some rigid plastic panels attached to the chicken run have been removed, it was gusty but I'm sure not that gusty. Thank goodness for built up areas, that's what I say We have had a quick flurry of snow at about 7am, it didn't stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 The wind was wild last night thankfully it has eased off a little today. Jack and a friend went on to the beach yesterday afternoon with a wind reading device (Jack told me the correct name for the device but I have forgotten). Anemometer? (same origin as "anemone", which means "wind flower") Yesterday the weather here was cold and indecisive. Bright with sunny intervals (but windy) first thing, so we popped up to the allotment with the wood from the fence panels broken by the last lot of gales, and I planted out my broad bean seedlings - protected them with a sturdy netting tunnel, so hopefully they will be OK! In the afternoon, it was sunny again so I decided to have a go at cleaning the eglu. Just got it all disassembled when it decided to hail - cue frantic reassembly so the girls could get under cover, then by the time I had finished, it was sunny again Today the weather has decided - for the worst. Rain and hail have set in for the foreseeable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I've been awake most of the night listening to the wind, we had hail yesterday, it really is freezing here but no snow yet. as soon a he is awake OH can go and get a bucket of coal to keep my fire going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrishY Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 It is white here - the trees look lovely anyway, the wind was bad overnight and I woke up to find my plastic greenhouse had blown over and I have lost all the seedlings I had in there. I shed tears as me and hubby picked it up and shovelled all the compost and plants into the bin, they were all white all the hard work for nothing Thankfully and more importantly the chooks are okay and cosy in their Eglu, I covered the Eglu and part of the run in a double quilt cover and a thick rug which has snow on but they are quite happy hope everyone else is okay too.

ali-s Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Brilliant blue sky and bright sunshine now Sill blinking cold though. Just been out to inspect the garden. My greenhouse has a tear in the plastic And there is another fence panel down That is the fourth or fifth one this winter. Please, please. please no more gales They seem to have been more severe and more frequent this winter. I don't think I will ever get used to the wind and gales up here Time to move I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 It snowed overnight again here and is snowing like crazy at the mo. There's some fairly light snow at the moment, but don't think we got any last night. It was sunny this morning, then I saw snowflakes through the crack in the curtain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Bbrrrrrrr!!! I'm sat here with the fire on, watching huge snow flakes blowing round the garden! The girls made a bid for freedom when I had to go into the run to retrieve an egg, so they are also blowing round the garden. It's definitely a bad hair day for them, but they seem to be enjoying themselves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Absolutely glorious here....all the snow on the ground has gone...but there are still a few flakes swirling about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
