The Dogmother Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Phil just called, the snow hasn't melted there at all today, and the couple of cars that have ventured along the lane have had to turn around The snow has melted here slightly after the white-out after lunch. Looking at the sky, I fully expect it to snow again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 It has snowed here on and off all day, we must have over 5 inches now. Not able to get to school. Very few vehicles moving about in the village. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 We had snow in London too. OH decided the mogs should go outside this am (I suspect he didnt want to empty litter tray ) and both cats were suctioned to the back door looking pathetic . I opened the door to a stampede of feline and was nearly knocked flying they were so keen to get in OH took me to bus station and got bus to work as I dont do snow - I hate driving in it. Hope everyone is ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 We had loads of snow last night and this morning. Our electricity went off at about midnight and came on about 1 this afternoon. Fortunately we have a gas fire and open fire but they were never going to heat the whole house with those. We've had about 8 inches of snow so our hairless dogs weren't too keen on going out to the loo. The girls went out to build a snowman but the snow kept going over the tops of their boots so the OH finished it. Couldn't do the things we planned today so hopefully will get to do them tomorrow. The chooks weren't keen to leave the cube and didn't want to leave the run either. As beautiful as it looks I'll be glad when it's all gone.

sadietoo Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 We had an inch or so of snow today which for my part of Sussex is almost unheard of... my OH has had to drive to Lincolnshire tonight and said the temperature there had dropped to -4 .but no more snow was falling when we spoke at nine pm so I am holding out hopes of his getting home tomorrow lunch time. My chooks were none too impressed by the snow today..and our pussy cat has been spending minimal times in the garden - as I write my son has a small tabby pool in his duvet!! - dog with low slung tum also not appreciating the cold snap! Next week we are forecast rain..less pretty but much less disruptive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 We did have some more snow but it was very fine. It is sooooooo cold though - minus 5 at the moment. Stratford is clear though so we must be right on the edge of the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 We've not had any more snow but OH said that its absolutely lethal out there. He's just about to drive ES's girlfriend to work at Bluewater. I was going to cadge a lift and take Cookie to the park for a walk but he thinks its far too icy to be safe. She doesn't seem to bothered at the moment but I feel bad for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirl Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 We've just been to Ikea (needed some cheap curtains) and apart from local roads it wasn't too bad. We didn't have more snow either but more is forecast for tonight. Eldest daughter and I have colds so we don't fancy going far anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickvic Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 No more snow here but bloomin' cold and the snow hasn't disappeared. Bit treacherous underfoot and to top it all off the boiler is broken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Well, we've had no snow here since Thursday afternoon but everything is frozen solid! I went for a walk and the canal is frozen , looks around 2 inches thick and the ice is smooth and clear (I think that means it was a quick freeze). I took a pic and although it looks like water, it is frozen. If you look carefully, just left of centre, you can see a brick sticking out of the ice, obviously someone threw it but they couldn't break the ice! Sorry pic is a bit blurry, had to move out of the way of cyclists on the tow path (who no longer have bells or brakes it seems ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
