The Dogmother Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 We've had about an hour and a half of heavy, wet sleet, so I shan't be taking the dogs for their promised long hike in the sunshine today It's 2.9 deg and thoroughly unpleasant out there.

Egluntyne Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Sleeting here again. Unbelievable after a fabulously sunny day. I even managed to get Him Indoors out on a walk round Damflask Reservoir today, which is a measure of how lovely it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillybettybabs Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I was sitting having a cuppa and a chat with the chickens when the heavens opened - Not sure if it was snow or hail tbh but Charlie jumped into my arms and Merlin ran to the front of the run to protect his girls (i think i'm classed as one of his girls).

The Dogmother Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 We've had heavy showers of hail, sleet and sloppy snow here today and the wind has been bitter. It was so windy during one heavy shower that it blew the rain under our front door at work - we're in an old Victorian Gothic building and the door is a solid 10cm thick with a beautifully tiled floor inside, the latter was awash with a big puddle when i went downstairs.

ali-s Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Snow forecast for us Tuesday and Wednesday, up to 10cm I have got the snow shovel ready and have taken my thermals out of the vacuum storage bag, log baskets have been restocked and gloves, hats and scarves are ready and waiting. I figure if I get all this Winter stuff ready the snow will not appear. This time last week the temperatures were in the 20's, today has been very cold.

ali-s Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 We have snow. It has been snowing steadily for about 4 hours and it is sticking. Olly Cat was very surprised when I let him out. He ran out of the door landed in the snow and ran straight back indoors. Rupert Cat came back home through the snow after being missing for four days. One very snowy Cat with icy cold paws. So thankful he is home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan08 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 No snow on the Wirral, and not likely to get us. But there is some very welcome rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Mixture of snow, sleet, hail and very icy rain here, all accompanied by a bitter wind. Luckily the snow is not laying but I think the three new girls I got yesterday want to go back home . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 How is the snow this morning Ali-S? Chrissie Woke up this morning to a couple of inches of snow. In town, further inland it was deeper. Snowed and hailed on and off all day but most of it has now melted. Lots of sledging children at the Castle today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
