The Dogmother Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Blue skies and sunshine again here Bearing in mind that we're due yet more snow later this week, I'm keeping an eye on it as I am travelling up to Garforth on Friday afternoon.

Valkyrie Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Quite a mixed bag here today. More snow - huge flakes and blizzardy. Then sun, more snow, more melting, rain, hail and a bit more snow. The girls actually came out today and grazed where I had cleared off more snow off the lawn. I also fell down the path so I wasn't a happy bunny earlier. Dented pride, bum and pinky finger! Found the tin of salt which I will be using tomorrow so I don't do the same thing again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Very cold and icy this morning (the snow's virtually all gone). Forecast for more tonight but I'm not holding my breath . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 We woke up to over 2 inches of snow yesterday! Bliss! The girls were initially terrified of it but then spent the rest of the day kicking it about! It snowed hard for a good while, we had a loud clap of thunder too! In the afternoon, we had beautiful clear blue skies, followed by more flurries. It had started to thaw by 2pm though ... It's carried on thawing overnight- much milder at 2.7 degrees. It's sleeting and the ground's very squelchy. Wish it would all melt now- everywhere looks really messy!! No ice this morning- thank goodness!

The Dogmother Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 We had ice on the thawed bits yeterday evening and then it snowed for half an hour just after 9pm. Just enough for there to be about 1cm of snow on top of the ice this morning -2deg first thing and very slippery! Nice and sunny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Sunny and bright here - the girls managed to get up to the house today. S"Ooops, word censored!"ed more ice and snow off the grass, but still about 3/4 inches to melt. Side roads pretty bad but apparently the rest are either slushy or clear.

The Dogmother Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Most of last nights snow has gone now but it's clouding up quite quickly and we're forecast more for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 So still here, not a breath of wind. More snow forecast tomorrow and Friday. Hubby's team are on Winter Skills exercise on Sunday. I can have a nice quiet day in front of the fire with a glass of wine and a good book while the boys .... and girls, sorry .... play with their crampons, ice axes and snow holes.

baby bears mum Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 The three flakes we had this week have gone now and it doesn't look like we're in the path of it for tomorrow. And to think I've spent all week dusting my skis off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
