Old Speckled Hen Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 If I check out my house on Google Earth the sun is shining and the trees are in full leaf. Is it summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlbird Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 that's probably January... spring is the bit with snow and summer is the bit with flood water everywhere and autumn is the one which has all of them on the same day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hello there, Here in sunny Belper at the foot of the chevin and amidst the heritage valley site of the Derwent Valley at the entrance to the glorious (muddy) Peak District it is no longer brass monkey weather but whilst holding on the the glorious memories of the wonderfully wet autumn past by a deranged but still blooming geranium and clasping to the hope of a bright green shoot of spring it is pitch black. We look forward in anticipation to a glimmer of light as a new day dawns in approximately 9 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Banbury twixt the Cross and Broughton Castle, it's fine and sunny at the moment, but a touch of frost over night. Light clouds around the edges though. Stuff it, here's the link to the Banbury webcam so you can see for yourselves! Not very good view, but you can just see the cross and my office is out of shot on the right and up the road by 500 yards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I'm in East Cheshire and it started off an ok day then it got drizzly and now its very very windy. Hopefully another tree won't fall down like it did last week and block our track and leave us with no electricity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riane Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 it is blowing a gale here. The two potted christmas trees either side of our front door have blown over and the shed dooors are banging . My threee year old has appeared on the landing frightened of the whistling noise. I told her to get into bed and whistle back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
