Lesley Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Our temperature has suddenly gone from minus3 to plus half a degree and it's gone very grey. I've got my son bringing in as many logs as he can....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Logs, that's a good idea , I have just been out to clean the chooks out and let them out for a few minutes, but forgot the logs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I brought in tons last night, but the house will be cold when I go back at lunchtime as I don't leave the heating on during the day when I'm at work... not sure whether this is economical or not...

chelsea Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Snowing really heavily now here in Devon. OH has just been out and swept off the roof of the WIR. We can't see the roads, must have had at least an inch or so in the last 45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Very heavy here still, I have salted the lane that runs past our house where it meets the main road. We are always worried about people sliding out into the road or crashing into our garden wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy bird Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Well, this was my garden at 8 this morning,and it's still snowing now! The vast majority of schools are shut in Macclesfield,which I'm sure all the kids are really happy about.My mum chose today to ask me to do her weekly shop for her! I asked if she'd actually looked out of her window this morning. Don't worry, I did it anyway for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 We have had inches this morning to go on top of what we already have its is misery for anyone who has to get out and about - the vets are struggling and the roads are awful the side ones being the worst of all. People have shed roofs falling in as the snow is so deep on them and causing a lot of damage about. I am surprised we have still electricity at all and expect it to go off at some stage if this continues as the wires are hanging lower with the snow on them too. It is beautiful but destructive.

chickencam Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 ED & DS's schools have been closed and it is unheard of for DS's school to close it is only the second time in 20 years and the 1st time was last February The bus company that runs their coaches called the schools and told them that they were taking the pupils home whether the school liked it or not because things could only get worse. I won't be happy until they are safely home. OH only works 2 miles away so he can walk if he needs to, he took thick socks and wellies in with him this morning. The main road past our house is crawling already, and this was supposed to be light snow with the heavy stuff coming in overnight tonight This was taken about an hour ago and it is twice as deep if not more now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
