ali-s Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Freezing here today as well. I finished work at 1.50pm for my Easter holidays and by 2pm when I arrived home the weather had turned foul The rain is bouncing off the pavements and the wind is very strong. I am not going to check the weather forecast, I would rather not know. Lots of things planned for the holidays, mostly in the garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 It was beautiful here this morning, now grey and freezing The forecast for us is snow on tuesday Had enough of the cold now I want some warm sunshine. We have had our Link-a-bord boxes delivered and Harry and Jules put some of them together yesterday evening and the rest we'll do tonight, so that was the plan for the weekend to get them out in the garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 It is still just gorgeous here, but is certainly a bit cooler than it was At least we can rest assured that the nice weather will be back one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaime Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 We Want Snow It always seems to miss us in South Manchester - Manchester has it's own micro climate so we tend to miss all of the severe weather - we did suffer a bit when it was very windy a few weeks back. I'd love to see some real snow here though - it seems like we haven't had any since I was a child and that's a fair few winters ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Blooomin 'eck.......15 mins ago when I went into the shower it was blue sky and sunshine. It is now snowing like bu**ery and is practically pitch black. Well they did warn us!........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 The weather was lovely when I got up, but the wind has been really strong all night It keeps going black and then the sun comes out again, but the wind is literally howling round the back of the house karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 We had storms from early evening yesterday until this morning. I hardly slept as the wind was howling, the Sycamore tree in the garden was creaking and the roof slates were rattling. No damage as far as I can see in the garden Very cold today. A day for staying in side or pottering in the greenhouse with the parafin heater lit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 It's very windy here too, it was very sunny earlier this morning, but the clouds are mounting up now. Just off to Phil's folks for a couple of hours; they live very high up, so it'll be even more extreme there! Send me some snow Egluntine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 It's sunny here. Very windy though and we had a massive hail storm a few hours a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 It's very windy here too, it was very sunny earlier this morning, but the clouds are mounting up now.

Send me some snow Egluntine My side of Sheffield is windy, but seems confused about whether to hail or be nice and sunny and keeps alternating.

The Dogmother Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Well, we've just got back from the outlaws - the M40 was maaaively windy on the way over there - we went through sleet, high winds and a bit of snow on the way, then as we climbed the hill to the cottage (they're on top of a ridge in the Chilterns) we got some hail - it covered the lane and was really pretty, bouncing everywhere. It's cold as anything at home now, so I've got the stove lit and it's starting to warm the house up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Almost got knocked out by a hail storm at Villa Park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 It's started sleeting since we got up. We know something horrible must be coming our way because the farmer was working in the next field until gone 10pm. He's been unable to get the field ready for the last few weeks because of all the rain and we've just had a few dry days, so it was obviously just about workable.

The Dogmother Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Well, we woke up to a sprinkling of snow and it's very cold here. we have had some snow showers since, but nothing that's settled. I hear that more is forecast for later today; north and midlands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feemcg Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Well, as expected, despite a 60% severe weather warning we had a few light snow showers yesterday and its clear skies and sunshine at the moment - typical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Well, we woke up to a sprinkling of snow and it's very cold here. we have had some snow showers since, but nothing that's settled. I hear that more is forecast for later today; north and midlands. We've just come back from Banbury Farm Supplies - from the top of Edgehill, you could see the nasty grey clouds over where we live. We drove into a massive sleet/hail/snow storm which is headed your way Clare! The sun is out now - but it is bitterly cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
