snowberry Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'm wishing them both well. All the more poignant at this time of year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Sorry to hear about your colleagues, Cinnamon . I suppose the poor girl will be in hospital for Christmas ? I drove up to collect ES's things (not him, he has a night out tonight ) from Uni and all the motorway signs were saying "Snow forecast tomorrow" .

Charlottechicken Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hope your colleagues recover OK Cinnamon. I've been up the Clent hills this morning and got caught in a flurry of snow, it was really bitter up there. I could see across to the Malverns and there was indeed snow on top!

The Dogmother Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Phil was in the Malverns yesterday Liz, on the Herefordshire side seeing his brother; he said there was snow on the tops. None here altogether we had sleet showers while I was cleaning out the animals today. Very icy now and the path is like a skid pan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammiboo Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 We are due to drive to North Wales tomorow, i hope that it is a bit milder by then, it looks as though it might be. I think North wales is ok atm, I was at chester and there was a bit of snow but not enough to affect driving i would have thought. I was lucky today as it hailed down just before i cleaned out the chickens, the odd shower while i was cleaning them out, no snow but when i locked them up approx 5pm, the standing water on the cube had frozen already! anyway, wish your workmates all the best sarah terrible thing to happen, always seems worse this time of year too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 No - Cold with a frost in places to start. Staying mostly dry with early cloud breaking allowing some good sunny spells to develop by the afternoon. Generally light winds. I wouldn't fall out of your canoe though brrrrr the rain was bloomin cold on my nut this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 They had snow in Cardiff yesterday. I overheard a conversation. I Am really wanting snow here, as I know how pretty it can look. Yaktrax & sledge to the ready ( have been since about October! Only bitter wind & hail stone here at the moment. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thank you Plum, luckily it's held in an indoor swimming pool (at least I think it is)! I'll put some blankets in the car just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Snow shovel for the garden & road ready, huge bag of salt, snow shovel and emergency box in the car and not a whiff of the white stuff. Typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 We went to DS's sixth form evening last night and it was raining heavily until half way there and then it suddenly turned to heavy snow, in the space of 5 minutes there was a thin covering and it was coming at us horizontally, OH said he felt like he was flying the Millenium Falcon through an asteroid field, it was very surreal. The sky was totally clear by the time we left a couple of hours later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 A minute amount of sleet fell here yesterday, nothing to get excited about though - it turned to rain later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 ...... it was coming at us horizontally, OH said he felt like he was flying the Millenium Falcon through an asteroid field, it was very surreal. The sky was totally clear by the time we left a couple of hours later. Thanks for making me smile, that's one of the best sentences I've ever seen on the forum, what an image that description invokes. I'm keeping an eye out for Herts/Essex/ Suffolk for tomorrow (Sunday). I'm hoping it's far enough South and East to stay clear. My trip is 2 hours each way (if M25 is moving) with a 3 hour turn around, so I won't go if it's hazardous, would appreciate any first hand Sudbury area reports, thanks!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I love that description too . We've had a few flurries this week but only a sprinkling on the hills remains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
