Valkyrie Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Zero on the thermo, snow stopped ages ago and everywhere is dripping. We can see parts of the pathway now and a little of our driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Snowing lightly here.....but when I went out a few moments ago to check the hen's water, it was largely unfrozen. Positively tropical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Sun and clouds and 2 degrees. Some snow has disappeared from the fields and our lane is clear. No frost predicted tonight so might risk turning greenhouse heater off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I think our outside thermo is fibbing big time! It must be warmer than 0 because of all the wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 It has snowed here all day since 9am, but it's very light and nothing like we the stuff we got on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Still snowing and thawing simultaneously here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 It has been thawing here, but the snow is by no means gone. It has tried to snow lightly on and off all day but without much actually sticking. Around 1-2deg here all day; much warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Saw the forecast on Countryfile - we're not out of the woods yet. Some areas prone to more snow all week, looks like we're going to get a good dusting Tue/Wed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Snowing but not sticking here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 We have had some snow showers today, but a melt too, about half of the snow has now melted. All of my children are at school tomorrow but ED's school is only open for yr 10 upwards. 1.5 degrees here at the moment shame about the wind, still feels pretty nippy. OH did the chook cleaning today and gave their run a good dig over we couldn't get a fork into it a couple of days ago and it was very yucky. Glad I am not a hen.

Valkyrie Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Went to put the little ones in the cube but it felt really mild - still dripping and melting at 6.30 even with the odd little snow flurry session. At the moment it's been snowing and all the clear paths have a covering of white again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Its snowing! Our road is covered in snow, I didn't know it was snowing, looked out of the spare room window and its really thick ... well ... for us, not 14inches! Wonders wether school will be on? Might have to go in for revision anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Another heavy blanket of snow overnight here too. The road outside, which is a busy A road, is completely white. So much for prioritising main routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 A couple of centimetres overnight OH is going to try and drive his car inb today. It is the most inappropriate car for the snow - rear wheel drive and really low to the ground. Just hope he's ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 We've had more snow overnight too, not a massive amount though but everywhere is white again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 No more snow overnight and 2° forecast for the day so fingers crossed some of it will thaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 We had a tiny bit of a thaw yesterday. There's some black stuff on the road now - had forgotten that the road was supposed to be black . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 starting to thaw yesterday then more overnight and road outside not gritted. it is soft underfoot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thankfully no more overnight and was above freezing all day yesterday though not much seems to have disappeared. DD has gone in for her AS level modules today. Bioler has behaved itself for 2 whole days now is has been so warm!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 We've got a covering of new snow, very slippy, but warmer. If it freezes again it will be even more lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm at my mum and dad's for a long weekend, in the Pennines up above Huddersfield and we've had lots of snow overnight and it's still snowing. I'm supposed to be heading home tomorrow but think that might end up being somewhat postponed.....I am getting very well looked after though and the heating is on turbo mode, so it's not a bad place to be snowed in......

Patricia W Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 All roads around me ( Abingdon, Didcot and as far as Banbury according to local radio ) are grid-locked. Seems to be a combination of all schools and work back and very slippy conditions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 We had 1cm of wet snow overnight which has melted pretty quickly on paths that had been cleared but has added to the lying snow. Still very cold and dull odd snow flurries forecast. I am making a steak and kidney pudding for tea, I consider it to be my duty to provide weather appropriate food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 A very light flurry is currently falling here but it's not adding anything. We are currently half-melted and it didn't freeze overnight so it's not too slippery. Looks like we might get some more snow tomorrow but i've given up believing the weather reportrs at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem_Seb Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Grid locked here as well today!! what is normally a 15 min drive to work for me took over an hour this morning!! heavy snow forecast for tongiht as well....
