SarahJo Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Re-scheduled the Water Park trip - too risky taking 2 cars of children AND its still snowing. Have a sledging meet arranged now, for this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Errr - its white outside, thought it was supposed to stay clear overnight and today Supposed to be taking 7 children to Alton Towers, swimming Reminds me of swimming in Iceland's steaming Blue Lagoon with snow all around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Has anybody else got snow again. We have had a light covering but the girls are back to looking disgruntled and not too keen to come out of the run. Hope it doesn't last long. This is day 44 of snow for us - we had a shower during the night again but the roads clearer than they have been for a couple of days - were very slippy friday and saturday - I was out and about yesterday and they were not so good in the morning but got better during the day but needs must for a haircut! Feel like hibernating in bed for the rest of the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 -2deg this morning and a burst water main at the bottom of our road, so called out Thames Water Snow on and off during the day, but never amounted to much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 It attempted to snow last night but nothing ... all the waters have been frozen the last few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenshens Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 It hasn't been too bad here (South Manchester) for the most part although this morning I woke up to snow. It was very chilly last night and the girls wisely chose to stay in their house today whilst I sat by their Eglu like a plonker waiting for them lol! Most of the snow had melted during the day so -fingers crossed- it doesn't snow again tomorrow. How is everyone else faring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 It was blisteringly cold up at the yard this morning, all the outside water was frozen so no handwashing facilities, nor outside loo The pipe leading to the hot water urn in the barn had frozen and burst.

Lesley Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 The same here - half an inch of snow and very cold......looks pretty though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Loads of frost this morning and a tiny sprinkling of snow, but that's all. It remains below zero though and the clouds are gathering Lesley, i have seen cars this morning with snow on the roof and bonnet - they must have come from your way then.

Helly Welly Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Very frosty here and pretty darn cold. A bit of a breeze too which makes it even more cold. The chickens water has been frozen all weekend. The girls seem very attracted to the ice once we've removed it from their drinking bucket, they just can't stop pecking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It was blowing a blizzard of snow on the A303 this morning at 6am. A light sprinkling at Heathrow, but not enough to cause chaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Falling thick and fast here now. About 2 inches in 10 minutes. Fret not Koojie. I am in Zurich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It was a lovely sunny day yesterday, and quite warm. Today overcast with a wee touch of drizzle, but still fairly warm. The girls didn't seem to mind at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Falling thick and fast here now. About 2 inches in 10 minutes. Fret not Koojie. I am in Zurich When you said "falling thick and fast here now" I had a terrible feeling in my gut.... I thought to myself, my car is hopeless in the snow and i'll most definitely be stranded at Omlet HQ and then I realised that you said you were in Zurich... Phew..... As far as I am concerned it can stay in Zurich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 You'll not want to be stranded at the mothership Quin... unless the *erm* 'facilities' have improved since I was last there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Woke up this morning to a surprise couple of inches of snow Must have surprised the council as well as no roads were gritted, and all appeared to be frozen. I slid carefully down the little side road to get onto the main road this morning and only as I got nearer the centre of Brum did it look OK on the roads. A colleague in North Worcs could not get in to work but a colleague from Lichfield was fine Thankfully the roads and pavements are now snow free thanks to a lovely sunny day, but it is bitter outside now.

Patricia W Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 It was absolutely chaos on the roads this morning in Abingdon after about 1 cm of snow. No gritting and it took me 45 mins to do a journey that normally takes 10 mins! Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
