Christian Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Got back from Brussels this morning to find out that Milan airport was closed due to snow. Flight cancelled so was sent home Still minus 1 here, the odd flake of snow, but not enough for my liking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I just love it too, and am watching anxiously as it is coming and going at the moment. At least my office is warm and snug now that I've got a blow heater too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I still have a bit of snow in the garden from Monday. YS was very upset that school did not let them go out to play on Monday - spoil sports. He will be praying it snows again Its very cold but no sign of any more snow today.

chickencam Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 There is too much of a mind on health and safety these days We are lucky that we have a fun loving and very child savvy head at my YD's school who knew that the children wouldn't settle on Monday until they had got some snow play under their belts It is positively tropical here today +2.5 degrees, I even managed to get the Eglu tray cleaned, yesterday it was frozen solid with a softie egg welded to it We still have some frozen snow lying about though.

miffy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Last night we had a covering of frost and -8 when we went to bed. At 7.30 this morning it was -10 luckily no frozen pipes as our insulation is so poor The heating boiler (oil!) has been on constantly trying to heat the house and annex, but can only manage to get it to 16 degrees. Just lit the woodburner as MiL coming out of hospital today following eye op yesterday. It will seem very cold to her having been in a stuffy hot hospital.

craftyhunnypie Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 My poor dad went over yesterday ..he slipped on the ice near the garage & cut his head, his lip & grazed under his eye. Poor love - we are now calling him Dean - as in dancing on ice. It's bitter cold, but I've got the fire lit, so all toasty warm. Emma.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 We had some fine snow for about 20 minutes late this afternoon, turned everything really slippery again. It has gone now and the temperature is 2.6 degrees at the moment so hopefully it won't freeze tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
