The Dogmother Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Just taken the dog down the garden - in the last hour we've had an inch of snow! It's -2 but the snow sounds wet, so hopefully it'll be gone by morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckmum6 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) Just taken the dog down the garden - in the last hour we've had an inch of snow! It's -2 but the snow sounds wet, so hopefully it'll be gone by morning. The bbc weather forecast tonight said the freezing weather could last into the NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do the BBC know!!! We had a big fall of snow yesterday evening and then a thaw, it looks horrid outside, but it does mean I can clean the cube and eglu out more easily at least.

Paola Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I have really enjoyed looking at all of your snow pics Thought that I would share some of my pics taken recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Awhhh Cute puppy We've had rain overnight which has washed some of the snow away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 We had over an inch in just an hour last night, a good two inches in total, and it was still snowing heavily when I went to bed. We have virtually nothing now, it's all melted, I'm just a little disappointed. Glad I took pics yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Very cute dog and kiddies Paola We are starting to thaw! Yay My ES's friend came over yesterday by car. I asked what the roads were like and he said main roads fine but that our road was awful. We are on a bit of a hill. I just hope it keeps thawing, got to get out to buy YS's birthday present.

Valkyrie Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 You can go off some people Paola! Now they're very festive coloured piccies. It's melting here - I can see pathways that weren't swept. The road is still an ice rink though. Heard some sliding cars this morning heading for the centre of the roundabout instead of around it! Grracee because it's dark the flash is lighting up the flakes really well - very atmospheric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 We've got rain It was soooooooooo cold last night that I put the CH to stay on all night which I can never remember doing before (only rads downstairs though) and it felt like a sauna downstairs when I got up!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 So much for the freezing temperatures . We seem to have a thaw on . It'll take a while to melt all that snow but at least we might get the car out for the first time in 8 days . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Definitely warming up today. Snow is getting slushy underfoot, but it does feel colder - and damper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Wah hay I can see my garden. Its green Loads of wind and rain in the night and as if by magic nearly all that snow has disappeared. Top hen who hasn't put her beak outside her house for 3 days charged out to the feed bowl and its all virtually back to normal.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 We had a pair of mythical beasties running down our road this morning . Not sure if they were a couple or just friends . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I finally managed to battle my way out yesterday, with the help of my lovely neighbours we dug out enough of the drift to get my Landy out so I could go to Leeds and get some new tyres fitted. Then I went to Sainsburys in Huddersfield which was like Christmas Eve shopping, packed to the doors, absolutely awful. Ran a few errands for mum then home. Helped to tow a Japanese 4x4 out who'd got stuck on the hill by my house last night. Then this morning looked out and the drifts are huge, they are pretty much filling in the gap between the two walls over a distance of about 20 ft and are 3-4ft deep! Here are some more photos!!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Gorgeous photos (but not such nice snowdrifts ). My girls got their first taste of freedom for a week. They appear to be attempting to eat the snow to get at the grass . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
