bright and sunny here, dry too which is the most important thing

[Valkyrie]

Clouding over, but managed to hose down and clean the spare roosting bars without my hands freezing. Still patches of snow, but apart from the avalanche bits from the greenhouse roof, I expect to see the beds clear by morning.

[Blackrocksrock]

Melting like mad here and the councils are taking the snow away by digger and lorry from craigellachie, dufftown and rothes - aberlour has been missed out so far!.

 

I also got over to my sons house to-day - first time in 10 days and had to dig up to my knees worth of paths to get to the front door - the house seems fine so I can take the cat back tomorrow as he is home then sometime and he will be glad to be back home again!.

 

Still up to the welly boot tops outside in the garden though and its bringing the rhone pipes off roofs when it eventually comes off with a thud!.

[Plum]

Brrr you have had a bad time up there.

 

 

Been a bright day here but still quite cold, murky now I think it may rain.

[Old Speckled Hen]

Dull but dry day with temps around 6 or 7

Cloudy night.

Bought a weather station from Argos for hubby's Valentine so we can play with it tomorrow.

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Been glorious here today, temp up as far as 8C at least!

 

DH & DS built the - by is it bright in the sunshine!! Got the cleaned out (but did refrain from a pressure wash!!) for a friend to borrow to house his new chooks, also cleaned out the . Hopefully it'll be dry enough to do the tomorrow, I did empty it yesterday, just didn't wash it down as the batties faff around in & out all day & I think they are unimpressed at having their boudoir rearranged too often!!

 

Finger's crossed we can get the big run at least started tomorrow !!

Mild enough here to melt all the snow . Sadly, the ground is now a quagmire .

[Blackrocksrock]

Tonight it is raining so the snow is melting fast which is great but what mess tomorrow in my garden - flooding I should think!

[The Dogmother]

Lovely day here too, although the sun didn't last all day. Most of the snow has gone now and the garden is like a bog!

Hi

Those so called met men said only a 10% chance of rain for the Fylde well we would say more like 25% but it was milder than we have had it was + 3 degrees.

Any how we were able to sort out the garden and divide it into two, so that the plants that are early starters have a chance to grow without a bit of light pruning

Baby managed a bit of free ranging but came to Ian when she needed help which was lovely to see.

 

How has the weather been for you today wherever you live in the world?

 

Best regards

 

Ian & Valerie

Stunningly beautiful day here, sunny and blue skies, its cold and there is still shed-loads of snow on the ground though.

 

I spent most of the afternoon pottering about the chicken run, cleaning everything out in a leisurely way and chatting to the girls

 

A Saturday well spent

[Old Speckled Hen]

Dull grey misty drippy day

No wind.

Plenty of bird song

The air is full of that strident blue tit territorial twitter, pierced by the more melodic blackbird and robin or overwhelmed occasionally by the rooks from our neighbouring rookery.

Spring is round the corner, I guess.

Only eight weeks to Easter.

[Valkyrie]

It's been cloudy, but quite warm so have been out digging in the garden with a little help from 3 friends who promptly stuffed the red ants nest I had unearthed. Which is better than them stuffing themselves with my leeks!

[Blackrocksrock]

Garden still covered in snow - cannot get to it to see plants far less dig the plots. The snow has shrunk as we had rain and higher temps overnight and to-day its windy and dry and not too bad - cleaned out the girls and the corrugated plastic run cover has slipped with the weight of the snow and so there was a gap in the middle so had to remove the rest of the snow and sort it.

Got sons cat home this morning and he screamed the whole way over - had to go via the long route due to the snow on ben rinnes road. I was glad when we reached the house as I was fed up hearing him. He enjoyed being home and wanted out -but he still has to stay in till Iain comes home tonight or tomorrow morning.

[Valkyrie]

The sun tried to come out through the thin cloud, but we have just had a mini shower. There is only one patch of snow left on the path the size of a dinner plate and about an inch thick, all the rest has gone.

[The Dogmother]

Most of our snow has gone nowa nd yesterday was beautiful; I really enjoyed cleaning out all the animals for the first time in ages.

 

The garden is stil boggy.

 

Yesterday it was -3deg when I got up, today it was +3deg, so a slight difference and it's so nice not to feel stiff with cold. We took the hound for a lovely long walk, then she needed a shower when we got back as she was filthy up to her eyeballs with caked on mud! One exhausted dog now sleeping in the kitchen

[Egluntyne]

Snow slowly melting here.

 

Have been out for the afternoon to Nottinghamshire, and there is no sign of any snow there.

 

A dull grey, but dry day here.

[Blackrocksrock]

Wet grey morning and the snow is really shrinking fast - can see paths now and some plants - poor old daffodil leaves are funny shapes with being under the snow and the snowdrops just pop up again. The girlls dont like this weather and shelter under the trees - its been bad for them as they want to free range but everywhere was snowy or wet!.

Flooding on some roads and water lying everywhere.

[Groovychook]

We were away over the weekend but apparently the weather was lovely here. I was for no frost... so worried about the girls water but thankfully our lovely friend came round at 8am on Sunday morning to check on them for us... phew!

 

Cloudy start today and cool at 2 degrees but I can see a few patches of blue!

[Old Speckled Hen]

Another grey nothing day.

[chickencam]

We had a really cold grey day on Saturday, yesterday was warmer and we got some gardening done, very boggy garden still.

 

Today is lovely really spring like, it is about 12 degrees sunny and warm when you are out of the briskish wind

[Egluntyne]

Dullish, but warm today. Snow almost gone, so the bus lane was gritted this morning.

[Plum]

Milder here today 11.5! when I was driving home. Snow gone but I can see the bulbs coming through. Just need some sun - any forcast?

[susanbb]

10oC and feeling rather warm today

[Valkyrie]

Yesterday was very nice. The snow has now melted from the garden although there are still quite a lot of white drifts on farmland around Basingstoke along the M3. When I took mum home last night the temperature was reading 6 degrees with a clear sky. Looking at the car it looks like frost, but the temperature reading on the weather station is 5 degrees, so probably heavy dew. I am up early because I was too hot and thirsty!! Must be a heatwave then!
