Egluntyne Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 What a picture! Here in Sheffield, near Barnsley, it is a glorious day already, although Jack Frost has done overtime and the hen's water is frozen again half an hour after me doing the pyjama run with a jug of hot water. Fires lit already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 What a picture! Here in Sheffield, near Barnsley, it is a glorious day already, although Jack Frost has done overtime and the hen's water is frozen again half an hour after me doing the pyjama run with a jug of hot water. Fires lit already! I don't have to imagine as I was doing the same. Pyjamas, wellies and a down jacket this morning. The thought of a kindred spirit in Sheffield doing the same thing brought a real smile to my face. DH already gone to work so I took a bowl of porridge and the laptop back to bed. Sky full of snow. Off out with dogs. Have a great day, on this first day of Advent, everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 From Banbury, near Oxford No snow yet, although one of the people on my course yesterday came from Gloucester and said that there was snow on their route through the Cotswolds Clear and very frosty here this morning, although cloudy last night, so no sight of the moon/planets Bright and pretty but -2 this morning, glug not frozen, but the chickens' bunny bottles were.

Christian Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Baltic here today. Glugs frozen and a lovely crunchy frost under foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I looked for the planets last night but there was a patch of cloud where I assume they would be, so no luck here either. It was frosty here too this morning and the glugs needed unfreezing. The Girls enjoyed having a free range time scuffling around in the frozen vegetation while I poo-picked, fed them and hung the washing out. They are having a warming dish of porridge right now. Remembered when I was a kid, the washing used to freeze on the line and would be all stiff. I used to love that! DD just texted me to say it's snowing in Stoke on Trent (where she works) right now.

Blackrocksrock Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 well the snow stopped and kept off overnight and to-day it is gone but looks like its set to start again anytime - the crows have been gathering and its too quiet for our liking - something is to happen weather wise.

The Dogmother Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Have you got snow yet Lin? The clouds are scooting over here and I expect that it will start soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardene5 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hello Everyone Here In Preesall near Blackpool the frost looked like snow over the garden. It cleared about 11 am when the sun came out. The rest of the day was sunny but cold. How has it been in the rest of the UK? best regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Here in Sheffield near Rotherham there has been a light powdering of snow overnight. The gritters were out in force last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Our car was gritted three times over the weekend A hard frost this morning - and now the sky has gone a very odd colour - perhaps it will snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Woke up to frost, then it rained which then turned to snow. We now a have a lovely dusting, just in time for Jules and I to walk to school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardene5 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi Everyone Here in Preesall near Blackpool We woke up to rain but at 8 30 it was hailing so sounds like it is getting colder. Hens were out free ranging but ran for cover as soon as it hailed straight into their Henian Castle so they know where it is warm and nice. How is it with the rest of the UK? Best regards Ian & Valerie William & Harry Missy & Millie dogs 9 lovely hens Henian Castle with inside it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd save you having to type it each time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clootie Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Boo hoo !! Sleety drizzle and no sunshine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 It has completely changed here now - the black clouds didn't amount to much, just a bit of sleety stuff. Blue skies and sunshine now, and a tad warmer than earlier. Let's see photos of that snow then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 The day started cold but no frost, then we had a wierd sunrise that was pink with ice blue clouds looked very sci-fi then the sky went mustard coloured and it darkened. When I took YD to school it was dull and cold but just after I came back it rained quite heavily for a couple of hours then the sun came out and it was quite nice for a while. Very cold again now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Went out to let chooks out at 7 just started odd flake of snow. When I was dressed they were in a snowy jacket few inches deep. They wouldn't come out of the run to look at the snow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Have you got snow yet Lin? The clouds are scooting over here and I expect that it will start soon. Sorry for the tardy reply, Claret. I wasn't online at all yesterday as someone went in to the back of our car (for the second time in six months ) so spent all day sorting out insurance and him going to the garage as the boot wouldn't close and so we couldn't lock him. I hardly ever use the car these days (OH takes him to work) but I'm due to drive up to Lincolnshire tomorrow to visit my Mum. I'll now have to do the journey in a strange (as in not what I'm used to) courtesy car. Couldn't have come at a worse time really! I just hope the damage to my darling "Ron" isn't too bad and he can be fixed. At least OH is blameless as he was stationary at the time, so the other guy's insurance will have to cough up. I'm just glad we didn't have Muggle and Squib in the car at the time. We'd taken them to visit a friend's son's Nursery class in the morning. In answer to your question......still no snow here yet at all, but it is frosty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
