bouldercroft Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow! that's a lot of snow, I hope that you and your girls are ok, mine never want to freerange in the snow, I open the run door and they peer out, then look at me as if to say "Do you think we're stupid?" girls are good - they seemed happy to see me and the corn/grapes lunch I gave them.. actually I think they just were just pleased to see the corn/grapes I dug them out with the snow shovel but my poor lovely husband is still out there with the snowblower so far we're at 17" and it's still snowing...we could get to 2ft by the end of the day photo by jewilk71, on Flickr photo by jewilk71, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow, good snow . My mother-in-law said they had thunder during snow last week - must've been snowthunder . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow, I had to look that up too. I've been in a horrendous hailstorm with thunder but snowthunder seems such a wonderful thing to see. I had hoped we had seen the last of the snow here but further North and East they are still having problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow, Bouldercroft, I have snow envy feel free to come on over and help dig out you can just send it over here if you like. I think Birmingham would look so much better under 2 feet of snow right now, it would hide all the rubbish the binmen haven't collected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 We had another few inches last night. It's just toooooooooo awful. There must be a thaw soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Woke this morning to a covering of snow on the ground and huge fat flakes falling. thankfully most of it has now melted. I can see snow on the hills to the South, I hope Blackrocksrock hasn't got it too bad. We are now being battered by gale force winds with torrential rain and the occasional snow storm. Bitterly cold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Aaaaaaaaargh I had hoped we'd seen the last of this but I did see on the weather forecast that Scotland and perhaps us here in Cumbria might be in for snow today. It's 2˚ here but very blowy so feels much colder. Keep warm up there you lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Gah! I heard the forecast this morning - Scotland and Ireland are going to get a battering. Still mild here but the sunshine has gone and it's dark now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I must have seen the same forecast Clare! Any Omleteers in Scotland with snow yet? Hope it's just a met office glitch, and you are all missed! It is quite icy here now though, I've been out in the garden with the hens for half an hour and my hands are frozen now I hope I thaw out, I've got wood to womble later on!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 We had a covering of slushy snow which then melted. We now have gale force winds and lashing rain . I can see a few repairs to the WIR blinds being required . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Woke this morning to a covering of snow on the ground and huge fat flakes falling. thankfully most of it has now melted. I can see snow on the hills to the South, I hope Blackrocksrock hasn't got it too bad. We are now being battered by gale force winds with torrential rain and the occasional snow storm. Bitterly cold out. It was much the same here - slippy underfoot and a small amount of drifted snow! - ow the gales too and at one point it was very still then it got up again! Very cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have been watching the five day weather animation and looking bleakly at the big white blob over Kendal today.Woke up to a layer of slushy snow and large sleet falling. It's melting now so we seemed to have escaped the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Take care those of you with bad weather. The worst we have to contend with down here is cold and drizzle. I don't fancy the snow again so I'm fairly happy with my lot today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have lots of snow this morning and it's still coming down hard. The weather forecast talked about sleet last night but this is unbelievable!! Posty just knocked on my kitchen window cos the snow is so deep, my gate won't open!! Trying to psyche myself up to going out and clearing the pathways but it looks jolly chilly out there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Blimey Omletina! I was hoping we'd seen the end of this. Mind you, we moved into this house January 2008 and we had a week of snow at Easter ......3rd week of March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 You've got more snow than the small 'mountain' I was up last week in Germany It looks cold too, with that grey sky. A day for snuggling up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
