The Dogmother Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 It's still sub-zero, cloudier now and looks to be getting a bit warmer. There's still a heavy frost on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 We now have frost on frost on frost. OH and DD said that there were little patches of snow in some places on their way to work. Our fruit netting is looking beautiful. It's usually black but it's now very pretty white lace. The girls are nowhere to be seen apart from a brief outing this morning for breakfast in the greenhouse and now probably under the bushes snuggled up. Sky is moulting now - the last one to go - which is really bonkers of her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Frosty and bright here but nowhere near as chilly as other mornings. The weatherman says that there's rain on the way. Lots of it due tomorrow. I hope he's wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 -4.6deg here first thing and now hovering around freezing, extra frost too and the ground is really hard. The rain is predicted to fall as snow first, making way for a milder, wet and windy weekend from the sounds of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 It is beautiful everywhere with the frost especially all the cobwebs and the bare trees. It was bitterly cold yesterday, we went out for a walk yesterday lunchtime and my OH was moaning that it was cold and he doesn't usually feel it. Looks like heavy rain tomorrow then Saturday and Sunday are forecast to be sunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'll be hoping for sun too; I don't mind the cold so much when it's bright and cheery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Beautiful whilst out training the dogs this morning, Scent wasn't that good for the labs due to the blanket of frost hiding it. Foggy came out to watch which was funny - shame i didn't have a camera with me to caputure four gundogs and a cat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm sure it started to thaw this afternoon - but the fruit netting was still white though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 We had a few tiny flakes of snow at about 3pm yesterday and it did start to thaw a little, it was a balmy 0.5 degrees at bedtime. It was 5 degrees at 7am this morning that's about 10 degrees higher than the previous couple of days at the same time. Unfortunately it is blowing a gale and lashing down with rain and sooo dark.

Valkyrie Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Howling a gale and rain lashing the windows. It's so warm I think I'll get my cozzie on. NOT! But really?!

Groovychook Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Not as bad as expected here. It's pouring down but no strong winds. Maybe I slept through it all or it passed further east than expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I think I'll spare everyone the cozzie view - it would put em all off their Christmas dinners! Doesn't surprise me about the flooding - the rain has been consistently heavy and no let up that I've noticed. Although it suddenly seems brighter - not for long I'm guessing. The ground is well saturated so there's nowhere for the water to go. I dare them to have a hosepipe ban here next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 The ground was still frozen at home this morning and I guess it will take a few days to thaw out. 4.6deg here, torrential rain, slightly lighter than earlier but still a day worth going back to bed for.

clucker1 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Very wet and soggy here today. Should have worn wellies shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Rain and wind back here with a vengeance . Unfortunately as we normally get all our weather from the west I have put all the protection on that side of the chickens, today it is from the east so everything is getting wet in their covered areas . We are finally getting our stone wall rebuilt that fell down last January after nearly a year of wrangling with the insurance company, good time they've chosen - the trench is full of water, the sides have collapsed covering the concrete footings they've put in, my polytunnel has got damaged even more, and my field looks like a quagmire from all the machinery; definitely a case of .
