Old Speckled Hen Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Can I open a "SNOW THREAD"? We've had snow on the tops for a few days now and hubby has been out rescuing in his crampons. Sunny and frosty here this morning. No sign of the forecast rain for two days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 We have snow on the top of the "Ben" Ben rinnes which is just in front of our house and it has been sleety rainy and icy and very cold up here. Winter is well on its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janepie33 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Thin layer of ice on the girl's water today as I trudged round the garden in my dressing gown and wellies. Had to pour hot water on top to melt ice. Will have to leave early to s"Ooops, word censored!"e ice off the windscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Another cold but beautifully sunny day here. There was hard clear bumpy ice on the Eglu this morning, frozen condensation I think. I took pity on the girls last night and shut them in, I only do this when the temperature is due to drop below zero, and they had the cheek to shout at me at 7am when I let them out, they were then all trying to get into the grub at the same time as thought they had been starved.

lillybettybabs Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Drinkers were frozen this morning so i will have to dig a jiffy bag out, I also need to stop the dogs water bowls from freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 A cold wind has got up here tonight, the chooks are shut in again and the stove is blazing Off to do some ironing for more warmth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Tiny bit of frost yesterday + today ...no snow yet. Flatmate from somewhere in Powys has snow at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 The temp rose 4deg in an hour yesterday evening. Much milder, but windy, dark and wet. The Cherwell is on flood alert, so it looks like they are expecting the torrents from Cornwall to make their way up here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 It is vile here today. A few degrees warmer according to the thermometer, but no sun to warm the house and it has been raining steadily with strong winds all day. Brrrr and miserable.

Old Speckled Hen Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I can't get over how dark it's become. Sunrise at a 7.44 and sunset 4.08 Horrid to think that by the winter solstice there will be over an hour less day and the sun won't be up till 8.30 The wind is howling overhead and the chooks have been in bed since 3.30. Blasted cockerel was up and crowing when hubby got up at 6 to go to work. He'll have to make his tea in the dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Cold, wet and windy here too, a thoroughly miserable day. At least we haven't been as wet as those poor people in Cornwall though. OSH, my friend specialises in making her morning coffee in the dark and without raising her head above the work surface in the kitchen - if they spot her, a whole chorus starts!
