Valkyrie Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 We had our first frost on the 17th, but although it was cold last night, it must have clouded over because there was no frost this morning. Sunday was glorious though. Today a bit on the cloudy side but there was a little bit of sunshine. Friday night I came home late from a friends house and because I heard foxes close by I went outside - 2 barking from different areas. It was so beautifully clear - could see the Milky Way once I'd got my specs back on. All the constellations were shining brilliantly. I stayed outside for ages just looking. Don't know where the foxes got to - it went all eerily quiet. I heard one again the following morning. Still fairly close but not near us - yet. Saturday night it was the male tawny owl's turn to make a racket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 We had a largely overcast day yesterday but fairly mild. It was mild and cloudy in the evening then we were woken at about 4am by torrential rain 11.5 mm in about 15 minutes . It then dawned sunny and breezy about 6 degrees. The sun is still out and it is quite pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Cloudy, windy and decidedly cooler here now. All right at work though as the sun gets around to my office window about this time of day - I'll be basking in sunlight soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 As Blackrockrock said on the previous page, Winter has arrived. Very cold, blowing a gale with sleety rain and this afternoon a hail storm which left the ground covered with icy balls. Can't wait for Spring to arrive, I hate Winter and where did Autumn go?

Lesley Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Clare sent it all here on its way to Cheltenham!

Valkyrie Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yep, we had that too. No hailstones just very heavy downpour. I was amazed how quickly it came up on us - I'd only just put the girls in the run. Usually they whinge before an imminent cloudburst, but I guess it sneaked up on them too.
