Groovychook Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Sunny today but with a bitterly cold wind. We had a hail/snow shower about half an hour ago too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Started off gloomy, quite windy, very cold then out came the sun. We had that for most of the day until about 2.30/3-ish when it became very dark and blooming blizzarded with sleety snowy stuff. Then out came the sun again until dusk - still clear skies, so I expect it will be frosty tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Clear and sunny apart from a brief snow shower. Very cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Blimey it's cold ! It's been lovely and sunny today but we've had a few fleeting snow showers. At least there are signs of spring- saw my first daffodil flowering today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 It's been a bright,cold and sunny day. -3 forecast overnight. The biggest ever moon shone in the sky last night and there was a hard frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 There certainly was a gorgeous moon last night. I am hoping that it won't be quite as cold tonight as it is not so clear. Too mnay sports going on tomorrow for there to be too much frost! I have made sure that there will be no more snow around here as I now have a sledge!

Valkyrie Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Minus 2 here at the moment (been a lovely day in Bournemouth walking along the beach to the Sandbanks ferry and back again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 It was absolutely glorious here yesterday....but colder than it ever was during the recent Siberian spell. The ground was rock hard and the hens water refroze in half an hour. I was up and down the garden with a watering can full of hot water like a thing possessed.

Lesley Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The same here...........we'll have to start ferrying water again in a minute Beautiful sunrise at the moment though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Ferrying hot water like a loon here too. Minus 6 and very crunchy under foot. Lovely sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Really cold here too, I've been up since 6 so all chickens done but I will be whizzing round again soon with more water The sun is out though and it looks like it will be a lovely sunny frosty day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 The water down the end in the cube is OK, although the dish up near the house is frozen. Lovely clean fresh air, and pretty much the same as Christian. I have a feeling the blackbird is going to start hinting shortly because I haven't given him his raisins yet. Tipsy was complaining because Apache is using the nestbox, but suddenly stopped because I think she found 2 in the box = warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Cold and crisp underfoot. Had a glorious run through the fields with the dog this morning just as the sun came up. Lovely pink hue to the wispy clouds. Snow flurries possible later though doesn't seem to be much evidence of it in the sky. Chooks tucked into nice warm porridge with gusto.

Groovychook Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yesterday started off with a hard frost, followed by snow showers for most of the morning. The afternoon was sunny but cool with a bit of hail. Most of the snow had disappeared by then. This morning started off sunny & frosty- the sun's still about but we keep having rainy/sleety showers. ...should have cleaned the girls out yesterday...

Valkyrie Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Beautiful morning, light dusting of snow now gone where the sun has been. Quite mild but the clouds are beginning to gather so must clean out the birdies before the rain comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickvic Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Really raining - although it did wait until I'd taken my son to school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 It was damp, dark and grey this morning, but we have only had a tiny shower this morning - not enough to bother the girls even though the greenhouse is open today. The clouds are quite broken enough to allow a very hazy sun through occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 A few days ago, I know, but we had the most brilliant sunset - I was walking back from work, so missed taking a photo. But Phil didn't...... No retouching at alll either. Cold here now, and quite blustery but no more rain since lunchtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Dull wet start, sun came out about 1.30pm and is just going down, quite mild too if you are out of the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 A few days ago, I know, but we had the most brilliant sunset What a wonderful photo.
