Ardene5 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hi It is nice to hear that the frost are coming. As it is great caravanning in that type of weather, just ensure the water pipes do not freeze! I remember a few years ago, a cold night in the caravan, low flame from the gas in the blue bottle so changed to propane red bottle and got the heat up in the tourer. Moved the water to inside the van and was glad I did as in the morning there had been a very hard frost and the waste water was frozen. That the fun of caravanning it's even better when it snows!

Christian Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Absolutely freezin' last night. Had to light the fire again. Cold too this morning, but the heating came on by itself Still too dark to let the chickens out Will have another mug of tea and catch up before I get ready for Christmas idea shopping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Cold here last night as well - and our heating came on all by itself Christian I let Jake pick all the runner beans yesterday - before the frost got to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I let Jake pick all the runner beans yesterday - before the frost got to them. You really think there will be a frost soon? It was 5C last night, but I hope we don't have frost yet. Mt beans are just coming good after the rabbit attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 We were up at 5.30 yesterday to take the pigs off and had an air frost - probably the same this morning........some of my beans were a bit black around the edges, so I'd say 'yes' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 If you go on Metcheck you can see a frost forecast for your area, it's on the menu on the left hand side of the screen. There is a good chance of a ground frost tonight, at least here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I could certainly see my breath this morning at 7.30-ish when I was shifting cars to make room for the tree surgeon. Absolutely gorgeous day now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 You dont need a tree surgeon to get the leaves off the trees in autumn Egluntine they come off by themselves if you leave them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 We are 3 degrees at the moment and had hail showers and snow showers this morning and afternoon and there is a dusting of snow on Ben Rinnes - very early for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbb Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've just put some stuff in the recycling box outside. All I can say is, "Chilly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I have now added a woolley hat to my chicken feeding/watching outfit and wore it for the first time this morning when I let them out. Very Chilly . No wonder they were whittering at me, but I did bring them warm porridge so I think that makes up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardene5 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 On returning to the car after the Blackpool football match we discovered that the sensor was showing a high of 2 degree at 2.30 p.m. The Blackpool Football match had an early start today of 12.30 not the usual 3 o clock kick off. It has not stopped raining / sleeting or hailing since mid afternoon here at Preesall and it is still doing something now. We are very glad we managed to make a large covered walk in run which has opaque pvc sheeting / wire mesh sides. We have notice there is a weather warning The Midlands of heavy rain so we hope that all hens are safe and well.

Christian Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I was up for work at 02.50 yesterday morning - no, not a typo. I had to S"Ooops, word censored!"E MY WINDSCREEN!!!! Not a happy bunny. Had a mug of tea and a hot water bottle in the car, plus a fleece to keep me warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 2.50 am you say? I don't know which is more shocking.....that fact that you were setting out at that ungodly hour or the fact that you had to s"Ooops, word censored!"e your windscreen. Blimey.
