The Dogmother Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Awww, lovely photo of Bracken! Rubes is loving it too and would play all day, but she'd get too cold. It's brightening here now, back in work and have left Rosie to shovel the front path and the pavement too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Wow Sha that's a lot of snow ...what a difference a few miles makes. I have ventured out this morning as DS needed a lift...that was fun Main roads okish but the side roads were lethal even with the car in it's winter setting, all available traction control on and in a low ratio gear setting Tescos had run out of milk so have organised remaining teenagers into 2 groups...one lot to the corner shop for milk, the other lot have been armed with shovels and instructions to clear drive, pavement and road as it will be impossible to get out tomorrow when it all freezes overnight. Snuffleberry (Sam the Pup) has been out playing in the snow, well slush more like. He's having a great time...although there's nearly as much slushy snow in the kitchen as there is in the garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Been out building a snow man, its a few inches deep, but its not good for making snow men ... have made the body but going back out in abit to put the head on We attempted a snow chicken aswell 14 inches! I bet its realy daunting No milk is really bad aswell Just seen some really dramatic people walk past with Te$co bags, rucksacks and hiking sticks Father came back from work early and hit the wall pulling onto the drive because it was so icy on the pavement ... wall, car + him are all ok though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Well this is interesting- my car is abandoned half a mile away, my husband is flying into Heathrow in about 2 hours, all the roads are blocked (he took the pickup to the airport so I'm stranded) our lane is impassable we have about 12-18 inches of snow. My younger son has made a piste outside and he and my BIL next door are making a ramp jump for the snowboard I wouldnt mind but I was on my way to the shop when I got stranded! No bread, no dog food and a post-Xmas empty store cupboard. At least the haybarn is full so the ponies are fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Love the doggie pictures! Chelsea, we lost our GSD aged 15 last year so your picture of Bracken is very poignant for me. Calli loved the snow. Much as I love our Cocker Spaniel, Holly, my heart belongs to GSD's. Anyway, latest weather from Abingdon. After a brief respite of about an hour,we now have bizzard conditions returning. Really heavy flakes again. Chooks and cat throughly disgusted and even Holly getting fed up with snowballs in her coat. Still, it looks pretty... Tricia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Farm pics! The view from my bedroom this morning The mares enjoying a hooley in the snow (check out Banjo the Shetland up to her belly) Snowboarding home for hot soup! Myrrka the Norwegian Fjord Horse, wondering what all the fuss is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 It's still snowing. Murray cleared the drive enough for my car to get out and then we started on the road. Some neighbours came out to help and we have cleared a lot of the turning circle and made tracks down to the road - then we stopped because there was nowhere else to go. By the time we finished the snow had made a light cover over the bits we'd already done. Another neighbour who's had a hip operation made liquid refreshments and her husband added whishky to some. Of course I said yes rather, please. We have left the drive ways of those who couldn't be bothered to help because it was hard enough doing what we could. Murray I think deserves a medal because he started a couple of hours before anyone - and most of that was our own driveway and part of the joint area. I did a bit more but then it came over rather dark again, so went to take the girls some warm tea before bed. Then I made my snow angel and tried a snowman but the snow is too wet (although the sound is lovely). It's coming down thick and fast now. Apparently our neighbour measured 11 inches in her back garden and 8 on the top of her wheelie bin. I guess it's been drifting. And the wet stuff is settling again.

Happy-Mama Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 We have had heaps of snow here, and are completely snowed in. DS missed his vaccinations yesterday as we got stuck so am really hoping it clears soon so we can make the next appointment. 3 diggers came down the road late morning and cleared it and put grit down and now the snow has already covered it again. I love the snow but don't like being snowed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 My doctor called and asked if I was going to the surgery, so I said I would try - don't worry, I'm not there he replied! He's snowed in too, but I now have a prescription to pick up "for whenever you can get there". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsquid Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Rhapsody, they are lovely photos. I love the little Shetland pony in the snow! It is starting to freeze here - not much snow but I guess much ice will form as the roads and pavements haven't cleared. The tree surgeons stayed all day and pruned three trees and felled a fourth (a self-seeded wild cherry that was growing too close to the plum tree and gradually shading it out). We have a trailer full of wood chips for the chicken run and to mulch the veg beds. I hope to get some winter photos tomorrow - today was too busy.

Lewis Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Its not snowing really anymore here Its really tiny flakes that you can see if you look properly, but nothing worth gettin excited about The roads look at lot better now, at least ours anyway ... maybe we'll be at school tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggquisite Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Yes this is OH at lunchtime today A few more wintery pic's: Bottom of the garden: Digging a path to the girls & Rhubs Mmm they are not sure about this white stuff Pond in the village: Bottom of one of the village lanes: Christmas decoration have all come down today too but with all this snow it's certainly still very Christmassy .
