Thick fog and 2 degrees here this morning, damp and drippy now

[chickencam]

The sun is shining here but it is pretty cold, and the forecast for the weekend doesn't look too good, fog all day tomorrow and really cold

[chelsea]

its so cold here but I refuse to shut my back door or windows (barmy I know - but I love fresh air!)

 

Am sat in the kitchen with back door open watching my girls typing with scarf wrapped around me.

We've had the most breathtaking sunset here tonight. Red, pink, gold and purple streaks.

 

Could I find my camera, so that I could share it with you all? Could I heckerslike.

Could it be in DS's bed perhaps?

More than likely!

It is so foggy here this morning that I can barely make out the bottom of the garden.

[Old Speckled Hen]

Started very misty after horrid rainy day yesterday.

Sunshine and blue skies now.

Still and cold.

Smoke from the chimney is going straight up ... isn't that just a lovely sight?

Frosty and snow on the tops.

Coniston and The Langdales quite white; shining in the sun back-dropped by blue sky they look enchanting.

Rooks are raucously jousting in the rookery.

A wonderful winter's morning

[Redwing]

sounds lovely! swap with you? I am offering fog and damp trees?

Me too Natasha; freezing fog, bitingly cold and grumpy chickens

 

Sorry guys, but being a tropical bird, I prefer sunshine, even if it's cold. I can't stand this damp drippy stuff.

Hi Everyone.

 

First of all a BIG Thank You to all that voted in the People Millions to help RED MARSH SPECIAL SCHOOL as they have WON £50,000 to help them make a special garden that all the children of 2 special schools can share.

 

Here in Preesall near Blackpool we have had freezing fog all day. So some trees looked like they had snow on them when the fog lifted for about 1 hour today.

 

Hope it had been better around the UK.

 

Best regards

 

Ian

Here in Sheffield, 95 miles from Blackpool the frost is so heavy that I thought it had been snowing when I first looked out of the window this morning.

 

Blue sky, pink clouds and bright sunshine now..

[Jules.]

I'm going to have to start bringing in my glug at night- its all frozen up

[abwsco]

First time the glug has been frozen today here in sunny St Annes. The girls are not impressed although the younger ones have decided that they like the frozen rhododendrom leaves and are attacking it with gusto

[Christian]

Cold, grey and miserable here today. 2 degrees C. Girls are not impressed and won't come out of the run even with spinach hanging up outside

 

It struggled to get above 3C yesterday.

[Ardene5]

Hi Everyone

Time now 10 am and here in Preesall near Blackpool we have no fog now but a heavy frost.

A cold sun is beginning to shine.

The hens went for a quick dash around the garden but quickly went back to the warmth of the Henian Castle which has warm horse bedding on the floor.

Had to defrost the water this morning considering we live 400 yards from the beach means it is quiet cold.

 

How is it around the rest of the UK?

 

Best regards

Sunny and frosty this morning. Everything frozen in the run but chooks all nice and cosy eager to get out.

Good view of Jupiter and Venus last night so hoping for clear skies tonight as the crescent moon joins them.

Off to crunch through the frost on the fells with the dogs then a hearty late lunch in the pub.

Wonderful.

[Blackrocksrock]

Minus 5.8 yesterday morning but only minus 3 today - frost not lifted and very crunchy and lovely to look out but very cold - bit of a wind to-day so chill factor worse.

[The Dogmother]

More damp and freezing fog today, interspersed with sleet just to ring the changes. Very cold and nasty.

[Blackrocksrock]

Its started snowing - huge flakes of lovely snow and if it continues we should have loads by the morning!

Will suit the skiers up here anyway. The girls wont like it and the cats will hate it again as they dont like cold feet! I love to see the girls footprints in the snow - prehistoric creatures

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Lucky you . We've had a really heavy frost this weekend and it was -4 at 4.30 this afternoon.

How lovely to hear you have snow could you bottle some and send it down to Preesall as I am sure they do not know what it looks like. I was born in Sheffield and I can remember snow 10 ft deep.

I took my driving test in snowy conditions and I miss the lovely white stuff!!!

 

Best regards

Clear and cold evening.

Fantastic sunset over Kendal

If you look hard you can see Jupiter, Venus, and the crescent moon.
