Just seen the weather and the man says it will be minus 3 tonight

It is minus 9 in my garden and minus 7.1 in the cube already.......Wish they would try and predict the weather a bit better.

Possibly some snow tomorrow...yet the sat pics are all clear over my part of yorks'.

Don't know what to prepare for ??

[The Dogmother]

I've got all the layers on in the house, Clare

 

me too, I get cold and tired by the end of the day.

[Charlottechicken]

I've turned the boiler temperature down, so the temperature in the living room is max 15c. If I'm in all day I'll be lighting the fires. I don't want to waste money on fuel if I can be comfortable with a lower temperature. After all, it's been -11 outside, and when you walk into 15 degrees it feels like a sauna, if only momentarily

[Blackrocksrock]

after a lovely day its now minus 12.2 brr - hot chocolate skooshy cream and marshmallows - heaven! Heating set at 20.5 and house lovely!

[abwsco]

No idea what the temp is, apart from blimmin cold, although metcheck says -2 feeling like -6. All I know is that I've left the heating on continually and the house still feels cold I've even had our bedroom rad on all day as the room was like a fridge. Turned it off now though.

 

For tomorrow metcheck says no snow, accuweather says snow and the fabulously accurate BBC says fog all day

Lewis has some news for you, but I shan't spoil his surprise....

May have been to Cotswold Chickens for 3 christmas presents

Will post photos tomorrow when I can get some in the light!

 

Snowing again here!

 

The roads weren't too bad until we got to Banbury and they were really slushy - saw one bump.

[Blackrocksrock]

brrrrrrr - not snowing but at 5.45 am the temperature was minus 14.9 - the frost stat did not come on as loft not cold enough!! - ice inside the house windows too overnight, looking out it eerily white and crispy

[Patricia W]

No snow falling in Abingdon but pretty cold still. I'm supposed to be going to Coventry today, but it looks very snowy up there and anyway the M40 has two lanes blocked at Junction 10 - so I think it's not a good idea!

No snow for us yesterday but very cold. DD's school was open but only for pupils living in the town. School open to everyone today, it is the last day of term.

 

Temperature at 4.30pm was -13c with thick freezing fog all around the Cottage. DS picked me up from a nearby by Village and the car was registering -4c and the skies were clear. Four miles down the road and the temperature plummeted. We live in a cold little hollow with our very own weather .

 

Spent a sleepless night worrying about frozen pipes. I got up every half an hour through the night to run taps and switch on the shower to let the warm water through the pipes.

 

Temperature at the moment is -17c.

[Egluntyne]

We had a light sprinkling overnight. Temp minus 3. It does feel a tad warmer.

[clootie]

-8 but still no snow.

[Chickvic]

Snowing here!

[Snowy]

4" of snow overnight - we've finally been hit! But the milkman has been so normal services have not been interrupted! We've never had it this deep before - it's generally quite mild here.

[Lavenders_Blue]

Snow overnight here too, and it's still falling. Chooks very disgruntled. Pop hole has frozen open (could be worse, could be frozen shut ) so was open all last night and chooks could get themselves up this morning. However... when I went out to see them at 8.15 this morning, only Dorothy had made it out of bed, the others were all still sat in the coop, looking out the pop hole as if to say, 'You expect us to come out in this? Not on your nelly!' Their run is covered too, so not even snowy inside!

[The Dogmother]

2" here over night and temp of -1deg. Still lots of dripping going on though.

 

Sorry I couldn't meet you yesterday Lewis - work gets in the way

 

Neighbour has a hole in their roof and leaks, I have an iced up drain.....

 

Did any of our Cumbrians feel the earth move last night?

[Cinnamon]

Its all dripping & horrible here - no more snow overnight & none forecast now

[SarahJo]

More snow in Macclesfield - myself and 3 men of the house all have man-flu (confirmed as serious by me, as I too am suffering) so we are not going anywhere anyway.

 

Looks pretty and I want to go out - just do not have the energy

[The Dogmother]

My mother is panicking about Christmas - all they have to do is to get to me. I have told her that if the roads are dicey and Phil's folks can't get out either, then I will just reschedule and have Christmas on another day - she can't get her head around that... it will be the same - family all together, just the day will be another one - she's never been keen on change .

[Bramble]

My mum is just the same - I am due to go to her for Christmas, but she can't bear the thought I might be alone for Christmas (my Brother and his family are within walking distance of her, so she will definitely not be alone). Bless her!

[The Dogmother]

It's blooming well snowing again!!!!

[Cinnamon]

Blow it my way Clare.

I want enough to prevent me from working tonight,but not too much to stop Waitrose Deliver coming tomorrow,please

[Patricia W]

It's sunny in Reading - well, Junction 12 of the M4 actually. I think you must be on the edge of the Midlands stuff, Clare.

[Chickvic]

Snow is trying harder now, the snow this morning was very fine and not settling.

[The Dogmother]

It has stopped now, was -0.4deg at lunchtime and the dripping has increased. It looks dark over t'other side of the M40, so perhaps that'll come this way. I;d rather not have any more snow as I'd like my family to be able to get here for Christmas day.

[Mrs Webmuppet]

It was snowing in Peterborough this morning when I left there, but the snow is rapidly thawing in Ipswich.
