Valkyrie Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Cloudy and sunny, little bit of rain, breezy but not cold. Snow has almost gone and now down to a few patches of slushy icy stuff. The girls are delighted with the garden opening up and peace is upon us once more. Although I think Patch may have lost her voice after so much whingeing - she sounds like a squeaky wheelbarrow.

chelsea Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Wet, and very blustery. Sun is just starting to come out but it's that sort of weather where you never know what it's going to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I would like to complain to the weather people on the news - a few days ago they said SUNNY for the day. 5 minutes is a very short day! Hmmph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Had a shower of snow this morning and it was still minus 6 at the time !! - its still freezing but the sun looks set to try and come out and it is beautiful anyway with the snow and ice on the trees. Not so nice to defrost the car though as I did yesterday!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Quite a lot of rain overnight leaving our two snowmen without heads Roads are a bit clearer but still lots of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 The last of the frost melted away last night- hurray! Our lane was frozen solid over Christmas... we only just made it out after getting stuck halfway up the hill on Christmas morning. Another stranded driver helped us to throw some grit and straw down on the ice so that we could get enough traction to set off again. After half an hour of failed attempts, we were starting to wonder if we'd ever get out, but thankfully we weren't too late for lunch in the end! Had heavy rain/ hail on Christmas night and then a lovely sunny day yesterday. More sun today and much milder than of late... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 The ambient temp hasn't been too bad here, but the wind is icy. We went for a lovely walk in the sun today, just magical with some snow still on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Frosty here but lovely and sunny. We have noticed over the years since we've been here that the sun is getting lower every winter. It used to just shine on the bottom of the garden but this year it just about gets on the fence. I was chatting with mum about it and it's something that she and dad had noticed too. Has anybody else seen this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 A frosty start here yesterday followed by a mild sunny day. It's hideous this morning though... drab and raining heavily We have noticed over the years since we've been here that the sun is getting lower every winter.Has anybody else seen this? I was only thinking that the other day I'll keep a closer eye on it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I wonder if it is a funny orbit type of thing that happens every so many donkey's years. Typical - we move to a house that slopes away from the sun and the sun decides to go AWOL! Very heavy rain, but we still have obstinate snow patches in the garden that just won't melt.

chelsea Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Absolutely awful here, really drab. I walked the dog in pouring rain at 6.30am this morning and it hasn't stopped since! Really dark, cold and miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 What a rubbish day yesterday - heavy rain nearly all day long. Today not much better, dark, dismal, bit misty at first, but the rain is lighter. Either way it's still WET!!!! Off to sulk now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 OMG it is cold!!!!! I have just been outside to put extra covering over the Eglu as the temperature has dropped to -15c I just read about that in the paper Ali, and thought of you. That is very, very cold. Take care, won't you? About 2 deg here and drizzling, very dark too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 It's really heavy now and has been like this for ages. Just after the last posting all hell broke loose in the garden so there we were fixing up an extra space for the banteenies at the same time down came the heavy stuff. I'm sure it did it on purpose - hmmmph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we up in the frozen north have had minus temps for ages now and to-day it did get to plus 0.7 at one time and its been snowing again - its rather relentless and the chicken water is perm frozen and has to be replenished 3 times daily and their treat porridge was frozen and had to be remicrowaved for them - why are they laying eggs for me in this weather I dont know - bless them!. We hope for warmer weather daily but..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 It has been so cold here today! I went to do my volunteering and kept my coat on all the time i was there because it was so cold and the heaters are rubbish! I've had 3 jumpers and a scarf on all day too. Its the wind that is so cold, its got a really icy feel to it. There were so many branches fallen when me and mum went for a walk this afternoon. The wind does seem to have died down a bit now as i'm up in the attic and i can't hear it outside so far this evening. I'm off into Manchester tomorrow to watch Grimm Tales so i hope the weather isn't too bad as we are making a day of it and going shopping first.

Valkyrie Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Dark and dismal with a few spits - and now something wierd in between the grey clouds. It's bright - can't think what it could be, well maybe I can but if I mention it, it might go away again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Little bit sunny, mostly cloudy but quite dry - just as well I have to walk the plank to get to the cube run - the girls have their own castle with a moat. It's certainly getting colder now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
