Looney Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 No snow here still, though bitterly cold. There is a beautiful subtle sunset starting. Clear blue to very pale blue to lilac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 We've got a lovely sunset too; turquoise sky and pink fluffy skies. Very pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I don't know about snow but my house is FREEZING. I'm sitting here at the computer with the duvet wrapped round me i'm so cold. I have been outside most of the day though, perhaps that why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Are we going to be the only part of the country without snow?? I think that'll be me as well, Clare. Nothing but a very dry frost here today, and fairly clear skies. It is blooming cold though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner.girl Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) Yes me too, Chelsea. I need a fire for coming in cold from all that sledging! No sign of snow here, i was rather hoping to get the day off work tomorrow cos the roads were so bad i couldn't get in!

chelsea Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I think you have more chance of snow than me. My mum said Dartmoor was white this morning. Im off work sick - so will be nice if I woke up to white tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 When OH and I were looking for a house, an open fire was an absolute must!!!! I light it ALL THE TIME! Its fab, just a quick sweep out with a dustpan and brush, load up the logs and whoosh, we have flames!!!! Just dropped to -3.4 but STILL NO SNOW Hope you feel better soon Chelsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 maybe its too cold to snow ?? I think it will come when your tucked up in bed....it usually happens like that...you open the curtains and its like "wow, where did that come from?" thanks for the get well wishes Christian, Ive been ill since before xmas...longterm thing..(septacemia) im rattling with antibiotics but hey, Omlet forum everyday cant be bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner.girl Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 but hey, Omlet forum everyday cant be bad It certainly passes the time Chelsea! Hope you feel better soon hun. Tonights result must have helped a bit (surprised you didn't relapse at the weekend!) The weather forecast for here is for it to get better not worse... Looks like the sledge will have to stay in the garage for a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yes Chelsea, always look on the bright side of life! Hope you are soon back to 'normal'.
