Ardene5 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hi everyone Here in Preesall near Blackpool at 5am this morning when I got up to put the light on in the Henian Castle and let the girls out it was a wall of stars in the sky no cloud in sight. Any one else up at that time? Best regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardene5 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hi Everyone Here in Preesall near Blackpool. We have had a sharp frost it looks like snow but it is not. All the water containers were frozen but are now clear and fresh water inside. Just made a hot mixture mash so that the girls have something warm inside them. Have made an extra one for the bird table as yesterday my better half found a couple of birds using the Henian Castle for a sauce of food they were getting the mash that had spilt on the floor as food for them selves. So thought they needed some as well. How is the rest of the UK in this Winters Day, hope everyone os OK.

Olly Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Here in Buckhurst Hill just outside London there's been a heavy frost - as Ian says, as white as if it had snowed. Just bracing myself to dash up the garden and defrost the glug. Fleece, waterproof, gloves and maybe today I'll put my walking trousers on top of the jammies!

Egluntyne Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Same here in Sheffield near Worksop. Very sunny though and a clear blue sky. Police sirens going off right left and centre so summat's up locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Stunning here in Devon. Opened the curtains to bright sunshine, blue sky and everything was white. Perfect weather - makes you feel alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 -4 here this morning when I went to let the girls out - they had porrige this morning mixed with pellets and grapes and then a top up with some more yummy pellet mash this evening when I shut them in. The temperature is now lurking at around zero ish and I am nice and warm inside - rayburn is belting out heat in the kitchen and I am sat in my jamas eating chocolate inthe living room - well it is monday morning tomorrow after all!

Old Speckled Hen Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Been trying to drizzle all day but it's now freezing. First snow fell Tuesday, froze then snowed again Thursday. Car was stuck in the drive for two days Chooks really unhappy with the snow which is now packed hard. It's miserable with no sign of a thaw in the hamlet though Kendal is clear. Driving down to London on Thursday and the forecast varies from light rain, through heavy rain to heavy snow ....sigh!!!! Can't wait for Christmas, DH has 10 days off and we can chill and I won't care then if we get snowed in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 It has been beautifully sunny all weekend, but terribly cold - down to -5 at night, thick, thick frost this morning, but so pretty that I didn't mind the cold too much. Froze my fingers and toes off in the garden, cleaning out the chooks and bunnies. Just went out with the pup for her bedtime comfort stop and it looks to be clouding over snow perhaps?

Egluntyne Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 It has been absolutely glorious here. Suny all day and very crisp. I fettled the run and cube and the Eglu...their last major titivation before Christmas....just a bit of light dusting for a while I'm afraid. I was working in a tee shirt at one point , it was so warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Drizzling here, washing away the rest of the snow. Chooks much happier with that, at least they can get around the garden without skating about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 We woke this morning to a frost so thick that it looked like snow at first. It has clouded over now though and is much warmer.. back to squishy-ness I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
