The Dogmother Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The temperature has just inched above freezing and it's starting to cloud over, so we may be in for some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 We had a light dusting last night, not enough to get excited about though. Still very cold here and the skies are looking a bit cloudier so maybe we're in for some more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 -4 outside here at the moment - I now have 2 frozen glugs! Ooops - better go and get one in to defrost otherwise there will bre trouble in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Nothing here, but this morning it took two kettles to defrost the drinker - it's a galvanised metal one, and the ice inside was so thick that it was forcing the metal outwards, and I couldn't open it. It took me ten minutes to defrost it, made me late for work! I'm going to fetch it indoors shortly and park it in the kitchen overnight. I'll take the opportunity to light a candle in the greenhouse as well, nothing too tender in there but I may as well give it a chance.

chuckmum6 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 We had a sprinkling this morning, I bought a new fancy wooden sledge this year, so I can guarantee we wouldn't get any this year (although my fingers are firmly crossed)!

snowberry Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Is that because they're frozen over? It was - 5 here at 8.30 this morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Back from Sofia today when it was -15 and heavy snow. Forecast for Saturday looks good around my way. Due to work at 7am on Sunday morning....we will see......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Snowed here last night, white over this morning, we can still just see blades of grass poking through. A pathetic excuse for snow my DD said! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Another dusting here again last night. I think it will all be gone by this evening though, it was yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 None yet but it was -6deg first thing, but has clouded over and is now -1.2, so snow is expected before the forecasted time of Saturday evening. Was supposed to be meeting up with friends for some lure racing with our hounds tomorrow but that has been called off as the ground is too hard.

Groovychook Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Brrrrr... -8.5 at 7.30 this morning and still only -5. The sky is a clear icy blue and there's not a hint of a breeze. I don't think it's going to get much warmer today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 We have a -4c but no snow, sun is out but it is very cold today, got to take some fresh cooked greens out for the girls in a mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It was -7.4 at 7.30am this morning and is still -3, it is quite cloudy here at the moment but I think it is too cold to snow. My ED is going to a frind's house in the moddle of nowhere on quite high ground this evening and she is getting a lift back at lunchtime tomorrow. I really worry about newly qulified drivers in these conditions, but you just can't wrap them in cotton wool. I have asked her to sensible and if the weather looks bad to stay where she is. I do wish really that my OH would let her take one of our cars then at least she would be in charge of her own destiny, she is a sensible girl and a good if inexperienced driver, I am also pretty sure that if she was given this responsibility she wouldn't drink at all this evening knowing that she would have to have her wits about her tomorrow.

millie Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Not a sniff of snow here, and doesnt look likely. DD is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 A light covering of snow this morning and -6. I hope we don't get the snow on Saturday evening and night as I am judging an archery torunament in Leicester on Sunday and will need to leave home early, about 7.00. I don't like snow It looks pretty but I hate the thought of driving in it. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 You're not that far form us, but we didn't get any last night. I understand that it's due to hit Saturday night, so my course on Sunday morning may have to be cancelled - we'll see how much we get....

The Dogmother Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Nor do I really it just seems odd to have a winter without any snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Big question for the winter . . . why is it that it seems to have to get a bit warmer for snow to fall? I've always been told that this is so and experience in the UK seems to agree with this, but how come then that it snows in Siberia and the Arctic?

My youngest has to travel to London on Sunday morning for her Auschwitz seminar. And she flies there at 3am on Thursday morning.....& we have snow forecast on that day all day too,& the day before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been told that this is so and experience in the UK seems to agree with this, but how come then that it snows in Siberia and the Arctic? Because you need that little bit of warmth to carry water vapour. In Siberia and The Arctic it doesn't actually snow that much as the air is too cold to hold any water.
