We have nearly 3 inches this morning. The forecast was bang on for a change it started at about midnight and continued all night.

 

Everywhere is so pretty.

 

ED's school was reported closed by 6.30am this morning, so we thought DS's would be too because they are about a mile away from each other and share a bus, but the buses were still running and his is open. We had already made a decision not to wake them up so he is off too. YD's school is open and she wanted to go, so i hope her friends turn up otherwise she won't be happy.

 

OH decided to walk the 2 miles to work rather than drive, it looks like we could get more, the sky is very heavy still.

We must have a good 4" here now and it is still coming down! It's fabulous, fluffy, snowbally snow!! The chooks are totally disgusted - their roof is covered, but I've opened their run door. They are just glaring at me and muttering - not even trying to come out Poor Dennis the westie nearly disappeared when he went out this morning And naturally school is closed again And our roads are completely covered - I don't think any of the local councils are acknowledging our existance this week

[Lesley]

This is the main road at the end of the drive - a main trunk from Leicester to Gloucester - but it is classified as a B road - Warwickshire CC are only gritting 33 A roads and no B roads at all. This is taken at rush hour - 8am.........

Towards Leicester.....

The main island....towards Gloucester....

 

I've taken photos of the farm - will post them in the Good Life thread in the Self Sufficiency Section.

WOW !! That's heaps !! We've got nowt.

[Blackrocksrock]

We have 12 - 16" snow this morning - tractors are pulling lorries and cars are sliding about all over the place - will get photos later and post - nightmare though.

[chickencam]

We had a bit more for about half an hour from 9.30-10am but it is just grey now and the snow is falling off the bushes.

 

 

The view from my bathroom window

 

 

Another snowy view of my back garden

[Ange1]

My girls are waist deep in snow! (if they had waists!)

[Chickvic]

My girls finally ventured out They hadn't been out the eglu run since Tuesday but obviously today boredom was setting in and I have sets of 'dinosaur' prints all over the back garden

[Mrs Frugal]

At least 8 inches here and it's started falling again. LSH says that the A1 is closed near us and town is silent and empty as there are hardly any vehicles moving. He's had to walk the 3 miles to work as he couldn't get off our drive! All the local buses have suspended their services and the schools are all closed. Just the occasional person walking past pulling children on sledges. It's beautiful!

[Mutrix Farmers]

Just rain in Margate. It's not fair (to use my Son's phrase) I haven't had a decent snowball fight in years!!!!

[Mrs Frugal]

My two lads have been out having an almighty snowball fight in the garden. O's 14 and said that it's the best snow he's seen in his lifetime .

[chickencam]

Our snow is melting rapidly, but it won't be gone by nightfall so if it freezes it will be lethal in the morning and more snow is forecast for overnight and early tomorrow

[The Dogmother]

Melting here too, but still plenty of it and pretty slippy too. the park is full of children sledging and building snowmen and igloos

 

Pupster and Rosie went totally batty in it. Rosie is here at work with me and built a snowman in the car park with one of the girls

[Old Speckled Hen]

My dogs are basking in the sun on the patio barking at the odd tractor passing by.

Only patches of snow left in the fields, belies how snowy it still is on the hills.

Hubby was out again last night looking for a climber in the Langdales.

 

 

[ClaireG]

Adam, the dog and I have just had a snowball fight! The dog has been going loopy, jumping around like a kangaroo The cat and chickens are less impressed!

Great picture . Can't understand why people think it's a good idea to go hillwalking when the weather is so bad . There were two walkers found safe in the Cairngorms today, I heard. Don't they consider the people (like your OH) who have to go looking for them ?.

[Egluntyne]

Here is OS bilding a snowman. He's 23. You are never to old.

 

 

I would have sworn that Hebe was a white hen....until I saw her against the snow.

Absolutely and thanks for your kind thoughts.

Today is the 5th anniversary of the Morecambe Bay cockle pickers disaster. He was out for that as well.

Somebody fell to their death off Pavey Ark this morning!!!

 

On a lighter note

I would have never said that it was 5 years. How does you OH cope with such tragedies?

 

Love the pic of your girls Most impressed that they went out in the snow. Mine just hid

[chelsea]

love the three muskateers photo your hens look so striking and healthy.

[chickencam]

My 2' white' hens look a sorry sight against the white snow, especially when they have been dust bathing under a conifer

[chocchick]

My Amber stars always looked white until in the snow. Susannah once dustbathed in wet mud
