Luvachicken Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 No snow left here now. All been washed away by the rain. Not so cold now either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 It was snowing here late last night with all the cars in the street covered over, but not sticking on the pavements and road. Woke up this morning to a whiteout. About an inch of lovely crunchy snow, which hadn't frozen to the car. Hens water wasn't frozen either, but the run was covered in snow so they didn't want to come out Side roads were slippery, but main roads fine and we had several heavy flurries during the day, and it was very foggy in between. This afternoon was lovely and sunny for about an hour before the skies darkened and the sleet rolled in Still sleeting now, but very cold out so we may have lots of ice tomorrow morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Well, the sun has gone although it was light until after 4pm today. Clouding over and sleeting now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Well, it has snowed on and off all day today so there is a nice layer of ice forming....not looking good for me setting off at 6.15am tomorrow, reckon the roads will be dreadful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 We have a good covering here, enough to test my new Freelander in snow mode, more snow here than at work. I just wished it had come yesterday so I could have played in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 We had sunshine this afternoon but only for a couple of hours, it is cloudy now with a bitter wind but no more snow as yet. Just been speaking to my father who tells me that we will have more snow up here tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charly1979 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Think the snow is going to miss us but there is a hint that we may get it in the west on Friday however bet that will change by Friday, I have snow envy even though it can cause utter mayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Clear skies here and still below zero ice on top of what was left of the snow, making it pretty dicey but the main roads are clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It was very windy last night and we must have had a lot of rain too... it's even soggier than usual this morning! Sunny spells and showers here- 5 degrees. Bah! I really hate living in Cornwall... Agreed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 A sprinkling over night here & a very heavy frost. Lethal, I've gone flying twice! I was going to pop to Lampeter today, but it can wait. I'll get what I need from the local shop, come back & cozy up. It took me from 8.30 until 11 am to defrost all the chooks water & piggies auto drinker. Sheep drink from the stream, which is still running nicely. The eglus were frozen sloid & I had to use a wrench as a lever under the pophole handles to open them. The bolts on the wooden coops were frozen solid & I couldn't open one pop hole, so they are now parading round the patio, after being let out the big door. Pop hole now open, as the sun is out & everything is melting. Snow melted on the fields, but the mountains are stil beautifully white. I have taken photos, as so pretty. Get them yak trax on & stay safe!!! Emma.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 The thermometer says that it's 2deg now and the sun is nice and warm, but everything in the shade is still crunchy and frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 It is 2 degrees here and baltic. Can't seem to warm up today, but was up at 3am for work and think I am just feeling tired and grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I was like that on Saturday, couldn't get my feet warm. Ended up wearing 2 pairs of socks and putting a blanket over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Snowing lightly most of the day. but not sticking, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 The cloud has gone and it's clear again, the temp is dropping so I guess we're due more frost tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I was like that on Saturday, couldn't get my feet warm. Ended up wearing 2 pairs of socks and putting a blanket over them. Funny you should say that DM I could not get my feet warm last night, ended up with a fleece over them. I couldn't get one of the bolts undone on one of the WIR doors this morning, ended up unscrewing it as I was in a hurry as I needed to leave for school. Roads much better this afternoon but the heavy frost will make it icy in the morning. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillybettybabs Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Corr it's a bit nippy out there! I should be out beating today but my old knee took a bashing yesterday so i'm staying in the warm today. I'm pleased to see that out roof is the only one that still has snow and ice on it in the village - pleased we had to loft insulated before Christmas.

The Dogmother Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Back below zero here again and still doing that fine icing sugar snow. I left the dogs in their beds, with blankets over them this morning; I went back at lunchtime and they hadn't moved lucky hounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
