clootie Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Sun is shining but it's pretty darn cold. Defrosting hands after cleaning out chooks and buns before these Siberian winds arrive. Brrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yesterday we had terrific gales which lasted until this morning. The wind was blowing straight through the house and down the chimneys. The lights were flickering and I had no internet connection from mid morning until this afternoon I didn't sleep well last night due to the roof slates rattling and the trees creaking. Today the wind has eased slightly and the sun is shining. The outside Temperature is supposed to be 8c but the wind chill is making it feel colder.

Guest Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 oh my! just been to put the girls to bed, was only out for 2 mins and I can't feel my fingers, it's gonna be cold tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I was going to say exactly the same thing - brrr - so cold out there. Hope they are ok overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The day started well with an orange and turquoise sunrise, very beautiful. Then it clouded over and the wind picked up. Managed to get all my washing dry on the line. This afternoon the sky has cleared and there is a bitter wind. Snow forecast so Hubby and I stole over to a nearby council layby to ahem borrow some salty grit. He's out on a rescue in the dark on Langdale somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Just been out to walk Zara, and it is very cold. We're due snow tomorrow, not sure how much my area will get as we are very close to the coast, although we did get a sprinkling a couple of weeks ago, which delighted me . I absolutely love snow. I'll definitely get the camera at the ready, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardene5 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hi Everyone Today in Preesall near Blackpool it has been very cold and overcast but no snow although there was a slight flurry of something late this evening. How has the weather been with you today? Best regards Ian & Valerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It's a lovely start to the day here! Sunny & dry! It's 0.9 degrees, so feels noticeably colder than of late but no signs of frost or snow down here. Think it's on its way though... brrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 We had the merest flurry of snow a few mins ago....no more than a bit of icing sugar. The clouds have parted and it is now blue sky and dazzling sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Feels really cold here as it's still breezy. Pink sky so snow on it's way. Hubby's just left for a photocall with our MP who is campaigning to exempt Mountain Rescues from VAT on the politics show BBC 1 North West at 12 if any one is interested. They've gone to Longsleddale. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it'll be really freezing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm sure I've just seen a few little fluffy white things floating around in the sky. YS thinks I'm imagining it. "checks out window again" yes there are definitely little bits of snow. YS and hubby going up to town for Chinese New Year (I've raging sore throat and ear ache). Hope we don't suddenly get lots of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Just walked the dog. Searingly cold in the wind. The 3 chooks have decided to go back into the eglu run which is shelted on one side from the wind - Phillip has actually retreated into the nest box whilst the two girls are preening outside. They look as though they are waiting for .... something... snow? But it hasn't really snowed in this part of Oxfordshire for 30 years. Then we all got snowed in as the winds moved the snow away from Kent - will this happen again?? I have a lovely week next week. Supposed to be in Kent ( Ashford) tomorrow then travelling to Scarborough for Tuesday. I wonder if I'll make it - or get stuck somewhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
