chelsea Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Yep, same here. Chaos with roads closed and traffic stationary in the rush hour traffic. I am so glad I am home but feel sorry for all the people stuck out in this snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Blimey, Lesley, how awful! I presume the dustbin lids were some kind of shield? Your description did conjure up a fairly humorous image (sorry) of you and Carl in superhero outfits (aka waterproofs) and fending off water cannons with dustbin lids. Hopefully, you will see the funny side eventually! Hope you are now warm and dry. More snow forecast for tomorrow apparently, but it might not reach as far as you with any luck. It probably did look funny - just glad no-one could see us! The people who built the house put the only stop tap in the house - under a built in cupboard which we've had to chop about to gain access - and there is no stop tap for the outbuildings - we have to work on it live. A project for this year.......get a stop tap sorted out.....and our water meter is half a mile away by the next village We are due to get snow tonight - I don't know whether it will settle as the temp. has been above freezing all day and the snow is very slowly disappearing.

Space Chick Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Its coming down very heavily and settling. Luckily I got home OK, but OH had to abandon the car part way home and walk the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 No snow here yet but it's pretty cold. The remaining snow has been thawing slowly and there's still a lot around - about 3-4" in the park and back garden, and 2" on the road and paths. Our road is still packed solid and very dicey. I normally love snow, but am gettign pretty hacked off with it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'd really like some more! I would love a day off work and to take Isabelle sledging!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ours has been melting big time - gutters and large ice blocks and snow coming off roofs and very dangerous here - it will be a flooding if things go on this way tomorrow - still loads of snow and my greenhouse roof - well its still there covered in snow - fingers crossed - the side roads which have not been touched are inches of soupy stuff which is horris and still cannot get off the road to park down the street at the shops!

Old Speckled Hen Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'm getting maybe three eggs a week from four chooks. Today they went outside their run for the first time since December 19th, skirting along the fence where the snow had melted. I wish it would all go away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 We've had about 5 inches so far this evening I was meant to be in a meeting in mid Wales tomorrow, but the road I need to go on has been closed tonight, somehow I don't think I'll be going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 It's just on freezing here and we're due snow, supposedly from 8pm - we've just driven back from the village - 2 miles - and the main roads haven't been gritted It will be lethal out here by morning.

Cinnamon Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 2 inches here overnight, on top of the frozen slush I had to tackle at 8 last night I have to take Devon into college early this morning for her psychology AS,& I am really not looking forward to it. The poorly girl is nervous enough as it is,so I am saying confident things about getting there on time,but it is going to be horrendous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
