Single hen

[Chickvic]

It rained quite a bit early evening, nothing at the moment though.

[Egluntyne]

A bright start here.

[Valkyrie]

Very heavy rain in the night and a change of direction too - earlier it was on the front, but by 3 this morning it was hammering on the back and sounding like someone was in the shower. Had it been light enough it would probably have shown up to be stair rods.

When I got up though it was all dry - even the paths. The walk down to the girls was soggy at the bottom level of grass, although their run is dry. We have had bright sunshine too. Short lived because we had another sessionof rain and the blue sky has gone.

[Chickvic]

Heavy rain that has stopped for the moment

[Valkyrie]

Sunny again - unfortunately somebody is hogging the nest box so I can't do a cube clean dash.

[Groovychook]

We had a thundery downpour about half an hour ago but it's brightened up a bit now.

 

Quite a bit cooler today- 8 degrees... feels quite nippy out there!

Think there are more showers on the way, the sky looks very ominous

[The Dogmother]

Good news about the garden OSH

 

Bright and lovely start, but patches of rain and increasing winds... again! Lure coursing called off today as ground is too wet, so taking doglet out for a nice long walk now.

Same here, it's been a bit sunny for a few hours and now the sky is all dark

Half of Co Galway is under water, as is Co Cork and it's still raining.

We have a cat slide roof on the cottage, the problem is when it rains really hard the gutter fills very fast. This is not normally a problem, but when the wind blows at 60 mph from west nor west, it blows the water up under the tiles and into the cavity wall. We now have a damp patch on the wall just where the down pipe is. The exterior silcone sealant is at the ready, I just need it to stop raining, so I can seal it up.

Minor really when you consider the people in the rest of the country who've been flooded out and had their fixture and fittings destroyed.

The long range forecast says it's going to be Friday before there's any change. I for one hope they've got it wrong.

[The Dogmother]

After dubious weather this morning while cleanign out the animals, it brightened, so I set off for a walk with the houndling; stopped off at a friends on the way - she lives on top of a hill and it was decidedly parky up there.... during the walk, it actually sleeted! The wind was very cold, but it was a good bracing walk. Dog came back dripping mud as usual.

[Groovychook]

After a day of frequent, heavy showers, we had a night of strong winds and constant rain.

 

It's still quite grim out there... hoping it will dry out a bit later so I can clean out the girls...

[The Dogmother]

It was blowing a gale and torrential rain last night and early this morning when I walked the dog. Much clearer now, with mostly blue skies and sunshine

 

I hear that this unsettled pattern is to continue through until Thursday.

[Old Speckled Hen]

 

All night

Now it's quiet and just dull and grey

 

Hey, at 1 O'clock we have

 

[Laura & CTB]

Very windy, very rainy and its all gone VERY black

[henriette]

Wind, rain AND hail here! Not good

[The Dogmother]

It's like that here too - sunny at the moment, but very windy and it'll rain again soon I expect.

[chelsea]

Extremely blustery here, no rain and getting cold.

 

I really wish this horrible weather would move away soon.

[The Dogmother]

It's got worse here too

[Egluntyne]

Miserable and dark here all day. Continuous rain too.

[Old Speckled Hen]

It's so dark still; it's raining and the wind is picking up.

Heavy rain forecast for the whole day.

The girls will have to sit it out in their run

[The Dogmother]

Nasty here again today, severe weather warnings for your area OSH

[Old Speckled Hen]

I'm sitting by the woodburner thinking about window shopping for chickens at the National on Saturday and tucking into real ale and comfort food in some lovely pub in Stratford

[The Dogmother]

I'll be window shopping too OSH; I am going to hatch some more pure breeds next year and I can't make up my mind what to have

[chickencam]

Heavy rain and wind last night, very dark here and windy this morning.

[Groovychook]

The wind has dropped and it's not raining at the moment, but the sky is just one thick blanket of white.

 

Still very mild
