chickencam Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 We have had a very light flurry falling for the past 20 minutes or so, but the sun is trying to shine too, so it could go either way. Had to clean out and defrost the glugs for both sets of girls this morning, we refilled them with warm water and they loved it. I hope that they don't refreeze before the children get home just after lunch. oooh very dark clouds now but still sunny and snow falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I popped a warm Snuggle Safe under the girls' drinker this morning; I'll warm it up again at lunchtime and bring the water in overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I feel left out - we haven't got any in Abingdon. Well, only a sprinkling... It's lovely and sunny now with clear blue skies wherever I look. Tricia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Well for once I am glad I had to go to work at silly o'clock. At work for 5am, home again for 7.30am - clear roads all the way. Now we are almost snowed in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Snowy here and a day off school. Also the electricity went off at about 9.30pm yesterday and stayed off until almost 11 this morning - thank goodness for candles and good old fashioned fires. The chookie girls have not ventured outside the run and it has just clouded over again so more of the white stuff on the way this afternoon! Brrr. I hope everyone is wrapping up warm.

jlo Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 My seventy five year old mother has decided to venture to the cinema to watch Avatar and I was sounding like her mother when I was saying, "Now, are you sure that this is a good idea. there may be more showers and it isn't great on the roads!" The won't be told will they!! Also, our heating has been playing up. Great timing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Just got back from walking Delilah, it's starting to melt here but more is forecast!! Cold toes, cold nose, wagging tail and that's just me!! Picking the children up at 1.30 so just enough time to warm up before I venture out again Edited to add a couple of piccys...

chickencam Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 It has been snowing steadily for about 45 minutes here and is very grey. The snow is light but settling, just a light dusting at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Webmuppet Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 About 4 inches of snow here (daren't let the chooks out little Snowy would disappear!) and it's just started snowing again. LMW school is shut so I have a half day off ......The roads are lethal and LMW nativity rehersal is cancelled (along with yoof club!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Only a bit here, but its all turning icy on the roads. Am meant to be having a driving lesson in an hour which will be interesting ... suppose its the best way to learn how to drive in the ice! The ducks are out in the snow! Will try and get a photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Only a couple of centimetres yesterday, nothing today so far. Haven't been out as DH has taken the car to go shopping (hmm..wonder what he's planning to get to put under the tree then!). Chooks haven't really noticed, they are just doing their normal thing. I agree - it is a very good idea to learn to control skids early on in learning to drive, but only if you can do it off road where you can't come to much harm. So take care, Lewis!

The Dogmother Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 It's bene snowing again here, but doesn't look to be settling much, in fact I think it might be melting. Lewis, good luck with your lesson. The local test centre rents our office annexe from us, and their tests seem to have been cancelled today.

Lavenders_Blue Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 We've had a lot of snow this morning, it was falling very thickly from early this morning until a couple of hours ago. I had to drive to my mum and dad's house this morning which is 4 miles down the road - it took me an hour and a half! The hens haven't been terribly impressed with the snow. Here's a couple of pics I took of them this morning. Coming out to investigate the snow I don't think much to this, I'm heading back in... ...actually you know what, it's much warmer in my bed. Now if you could please just shut the door it would be even warmer....tsk, humans! Note the revolting bedding which has been thrown all over the place and pooed on. They are going to be most disgruntled when I chuck them out later on to clean it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 No snow at all here today It has gone cloudy though, wonder if we'll get any overnight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Snow showers here this morning but did not settle. It is snowing thick and fast now and it looks like it is going to stick. I have 4 very cold slaters up on the cottage roof trying to put in 2 Velux windows and slate round the new dormer window. Maybe December wasn't a good time to sart the loft conversion. Slaters now sheltering in the porch drinking mugs of tea, I did tell them to come inside but they declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Thanks for the luck but he just came and said it was a bit pointless having a lesson All we need to practice now is manoeuvres which we can't do in icy side roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Snowing again here. Outside is a nightmare - the snow has melted a little & now frozen,so its really icy. I just went to the supermarket, & now intend to stay hunkered up inside for the duration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
