Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[welovemarmite]

nothing here, the kids are most put out and have grumbled out the door to the bus stop.

 

 

Just phoned my mum in cambridgeshire and there is none there either. Apparently its four inches in Bedford and stops suddenly on the bedford bypass.

[Cooks]

nope nothing here at all, although expected tonight I think.. I wont hold my breath I think we've been forgotten!

[ClaireG]

None overnight here but it's just started with very small flakes.

[Cinnamon]

Its official, we are snowed in

 

The gates won't open, hubby is in a mood cos he is bored & wants to be at work.

I have a day of cleaning & baking planned.

 

It's windy here too,& the trees covered in snow, slowly swaying look amazing.

[welovemarmite]

only seen one heavy duty 4x4 go by and that was slipping a bit. Mine is a baby one...

 

I too therefore are snowed in but have to work as I am set up to work from home....

[Christian]

An inch has fallen since 8.30 here in Hampshire So we have 3 inches and no grit on the roads. Only see 2 cars on the road and they were driving in first gear!

 

getting a bit like a blizzard now, as the wind is picking up

 

Porridge for breakfast (the chickens have had theirs )

[Laura & CTB]

I have an unexpected day off work too as no-one can get out of our road which is either a steep hill up one way or a steep hill down the other

 

I've never seen this much snow here before.

 

Airport is shut and no buses either.

[Mrs Frugal]

Our snow stopped yesterday afternoon after a rather pathetic effort and we had none overnight but it's coming down steadily now and has been since it got light. Hard to tell how much has fallen today because there's still snow on the ground from the weekend but we're getting lovely big, fat cotton wall balls of snow coming down! It looks really pretty but if it continues, I wouldn't be surprised if O's school bus is called for early!

[Jillus]

More snow overnight. Farm track snowed up, none but the brave will get to work. The chicken feed supplier is going to try and reach us with a tractor, the chickens are on warm pasta for breakfast to eke out the last of the pellets.

 

That's it I have now officially had enough. Bring on Global Warming, hang on this is Global warming.

[Tiggy]

the main roads here are all fine, OH had his car broken last night, someone in a big BMW lost control & smashed the back end, the wing is hanging off. Luckily no one was hurt, a very disgruntled OH went to work by taxi this morning, had to help driver push the taxi off our front garden to get going, what was he was doing in our garden

[hillfamily]

Just sleety, rainy snow here, which is melting the tiny bit of snow we had last night

[The Dogmother]

8" of snow here this morning and I'm one of three who have made it into work, will upload photos later today.

 

Town is deserted and the main road past the office has just one track and cars are fishtailing along it

 

Phil's snowed in again at the farm and his brother is stranded there too, they have more snow falling over there in Bucks, but then they are pretty high up.

[Patricia W]

We've got at least 8" in Abingdon and it's still snowing....

 

Phillip hasn't stopped crowing this morning complaining about the carelessness of these hoomans who have dumped a lot of white stuff where he wants to walk. They've been out on the bench in front of the cube, refused to step down to the ground I cleared for them and are now back inside - glowering!

 

All schools round about are closed and very few cars venturing out. Luckily (?) I can work electronically ...

Hello everyone..

 

C. 6 inches here so we're snowed in & more falling as we speak, looks like it's here to stay for a while

 

Was supposed to go into London office today suffice to say that won't be happening unfortunately I too am set to WFH so no escaping work

 

Stay warm & safe everyone so you all on here during the day

 

[chickencam]

4 inches here and still coming. All schools closed, OH walking to work.

[chelsea]

I see Sky news keep harping on about everywhere else but Devon & Somerset!

 

It's actually getting quite worrying how much we have now and it's blizzard conditions.

[Seagazer]

We've probably got about half an inch so not too bad. YS upset that his school is still open ES has just got back from the station. The trains aren't running properly, he's been waiting for hour and a half and the trains are so packed you can't get on.

[BarbaraJ]

We have snow we had about 1'' last night then more when i woke this morning and it hasnt stopped all morning yet!

[Chickpea]

Got about 7 inches here and it's still coming...good thing about living in the sticks is I can't get to work...may be bad however when we run out of milk & beer!!

[clootie]

Nothing here ..... yet.

[Seagazer]

Its really started snowing again now. I wonder if they'll close the school

[Chickvic]

Our schools are closed - children are very happy

[The Dogmother]

Snowing like mad here now

 

I am sooo glad that my Ocado order got through last night, we have enough milk and food for a week now and I can always walk into toon if needs be.

[ClaireG]

Coming down thick and fast here now. I've just spoken to my parents who live just north of Banbury, they are snowed in and my Dads deliveries can't get up the hill.

[Old Speckled Hen]

About another inch fell this morning.

Next two days are forecast sunny. Sunny? what's that? with daytime temps around -2 and night time -7.

I heard on the news that Aberdeen is expecting -20
