I have already used 50# of ice melt this morning the sun is shining and it is a very cold 28 f The girls seem to be enjoying the sun it is shing in the front of their run right now. Where is spring I think that I am ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 My garden is a bog with all this water too. Even the dog is getting picky about where she puts her paws and is avoiding the really swampy bits. A welly print squidges down into the mud where where my grass was about an 1-2 inches now. Can wait for it to dry out a bit. Is it normally this wet in the gardens. I don't normally walk down the end until end Feb or March. Live there now. Its been a good day here, no wind and felt comfortable for a bit of garden work. Snow forcast for the weekend here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoebe Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Freezing, is the answer ! It was ok when I let the chickens out at 7am but by the time I went to work at 8.30, a really cold wind had got up and that just seemed to get worse as the day went on (from the Medway Towns, which are almost on the coast - well the river anyway...)

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 We're due to have plummeting temperatures and light snow on Sunday and heavy snow on Monday/Tuesday . Let's hope it's like the last time we were forecast snow - not a single flake fell . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 It really set in cold last night, in the space of an hours football training my husbands cars windscreen froze over.

ali-s Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The sun didn't appear yesterday Plus 5c at the moment. Still pitch black here but I think it is dry. There is a cold wind blowing. OH not looking forward to the snow forecast at the weekend. He and Natalie are travelling to Glasgow today for the Scottish schools swimming finals and will be travelling home on Sunday when the worst of the snow is due.

chickencam Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Brightish here with the odd spot of rain, and it is very windy too, pretty big wind chill factor already . We had heavy rain and very strong winds overnight, i spent a good deal of it listening to things banging around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 We're not far from you Liz, but it's brighter heer and we didn't have the winds over night. Blooming cold now though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Very nippy here today and that threat of snow is definitely in the air......something about the quality of the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 It's getting that way here too - the sky definitely looks whiter and the temp has gone down. I went home at lunchtime and was surprised to see that the temp was +6 as the windchill made it feel far colder. I've had the blow heater in my office on all afternoon as the heating was struggling to keep it comfortable... and, yes I do have a vest on, and all my chooks have feed!

Valkyrie Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 6 degrees here earlier at lunchtime with sun - now have grey and pinky coloured clouds - sun trying to make a pretty set but failing! Just hosed down the path after walking round the garden with the dustpan and shovel - at least when it is cold it is easier to go poo picking rather than trying to scoop up a soggy mess! Yep, chilly in the air, but not too bad yet (frost on the cars last night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardene5 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi Everyone Her in Preesall near Blackpool we had a very wet night and this morning the were lakes of water in the garden. It was wet here up to about 10 a.m when it started to dry out. Then rest of the day it has been overcast but not wet and a high of +3 degrees. It is meant to get colder over the weekend. N.B Please ensure that you have filled you car up with fuel as there is a strike at the refinery were petrol etc is made! Who is the weather in your neck of the woods wherever in the world you live Best regards Ian & Valerie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 very windy and wet here, the rain has been torrential at times. run off from the fields is causing local floods on the roads. The rain was very cold and stung when it hit you. No idea on the temp as weather station not working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Bit chilly but bright - no sun although eastwards there is a yellow pink tinge where the sun is trying to break through the light grey clouds. Quite pretty really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
