Egluntyne Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Ours didn't amount to much in the end. A couple of cms at most. Roads OK, pavements lethal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We had a decent amount here last night, although not as much as last weekend. It was still enough for the dog and the chickens not to want to come out and play though! Have now dug the chickens out and taken the dog for a walk wrapped up toasty warm in her coat.

The Dogmother Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We had an inch here but the main roads are open, paths still dicey though. The chickens and cats hate it but the dogs go mental, snuffling like truffle hounds! R's school is open. It's due to clear and be brighter by lunchtime, so more slush I guess my folks in Herts have had a good couple of inches, and Pops - who is 80 tomorrow - is moaning that he's only just cleared the last lot off their drive (which is on a hill) I have told him to take it easy, which he won't!

chickencam Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I hope that your dad has a great birthday tomorrow. We just have a very light sheen of snow and a very cold wind here today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thanks Liz 4 deg here now and everything's dripping. I spoke to Phil at lunchtime and Radnage (Chilterns) is still snowbound and no sign of a thaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucker1 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 2 inches here in deepest Dorking, Surrey. Lethal this morning, both from the snow on the ice making it very slippery and the chickens. The girls looked at me this morning as if to say "Not this stuff again"...I am sure Chief Chicken, Darthveda is blaming me....the GLARE I got was evil! Good news is, it is melting, so hopefully the wretched stuff will be on its way out....although it will be very icy again tonight I expect.

Old Speckled Hen Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Still snow here which is now rock hard. The hens have stood glumly at the end of their run or under the field shelter for nearly a week now Three ventured on top of the run and slipped about on the tarp for a while. Still getting four or five eggs a day though. Flash sleeps in palatial warmth in the cellar. I feel quite brutal throwing him out into the snow at seven in the morning but he scoots round to the open run to get his wing over before breakfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
