The Dogmother Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 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! I know - it started as I left the office to go home for lunch!!!

ali-s Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Snow, hail and sleet showers all day here and the wind is freezing. I have been house hunting today up winding single track roads, was ok until a very snowy snow plough was coming the other way. I decided it was time to head back home I found a very nice house and popped into the estate agents on my way home. The file said it had been on the market since July So what is wrong with it (sorry off topic a bit there, just thinking aloud ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 The same here! Brilliant sunshine one minute, dark clouds rain and sleet the next! Waiting for 3 foot of snow, but i bet it doesn't! (Ali - ask the estate agents if there have been any offers/surveys etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 no snow here, just wet haily stuff mind you, if it snows then all our flights will be cancelled which means angry passengers and more work for moi, so no.....I DONT want it to snow!!

The Dogmother Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 It's snowing like mad here at the moment. Won't last though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 We've had a couple of light flurries, but nothing that lasted more than a few minutes. The children are gutted, as the news mentioned that the Cheviots should be getting a good bit of snow today, and that's where our new house is.

Snowy Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 In the last ten minutes we've had snow, hail, thunder and lightening! Don't mind any of them on their own, but not too happy with all at once! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 I love dramatic weather like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I love dramatic weather like that. Difficult to enjoy it with two very nervous children on my lap and the dog going berserk in the hall! And now the sun is out and the sky is blue again.... What next I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 We've just had a little snow for a couple of minutes, melted straight away though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I found a very nice house and popped into the estate agents on my way home. The file said it had been on the market since July So what is wrong with it (sorry off topic a bit there, just thinking aloud ) Not necessarily anything Ali - ours has been on the market since April - and I don't think there's much wrong with it Only certain houses in certain places and certain price ranges fall into the '8 people after 1 house' bracket as trumpeted by the media. A lot of Estate Agents are reporting that things are quiet - at least in this area. Don't be put off by it. Sorry - completely off topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Back on topic Hail showers here all morning with a biting wind. Outside thermometer is reading -2oc but the wind is vicious so probably a lot colder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 We've got that vicious wind too Ali, and it's 0 degrees. My hands are frozen even in the office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 My hands are frozen too I have spent 10 minutes cleaning out the Eglu and my fingers are white (I suffer with Raynards disease). Now they are very painful as the feeling in them is returning. I was wearing a pair of thermal gloves as well as rubber gloves I need warm sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard T Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 When we left for work this morning our little bit of Kent was turning into a Winter Wonderland with great big, fluffy, white snowflakes falling in their thousands. Unfortunately, OH wouldn't let me stay home to make snowmen. Mind you, it was cold. The chickens had popped out for a bit of breakfast, but went back to bed. Only a few miles up the road it was just cold and grey. London - where I am now - has had no snow and is cold, and miserable, but the sun is starting to appear. It looks like this cold weather is going to be around for the rest of the week. It wouldn't be so bad, but we're running a half-marathon on Sunday. Yikes!
