Groovychook Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 A nasty wet morning, followed by a beautiful afternoon The daffodils are almost ready to flower in the lane and the trees are full of chattering starlings. Lovely! Weatherman warned of possibility of snow on Monday though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charly1979 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Its been a lovely day here had a shower of rain late afternoon which produced a beautiful rainbow, its not felt as cold either. I have heard the rumour of more snow on Monday but not paid too much attention as to where, however as I have now arranged for logs to be delivered on Monday and Woodchip on Tuesday im hoping it wont be our area but that famous old law of the s d means we will get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Drove over to Broadway, and went up to visit the tower, only to find it thick with fog and snowing Didn't last long, thankfully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I love Broadway, not too far from us. Nothing really here today; a bit of cold drizzle at lunchtime but it's been mostly dry and very cold. Clear out there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Snowing now in Brum Very wet and melting on the roads and paths but settling on cars and foliage. We are forecast 'disruptive' weather for tomorrow It's very cold here too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Oh no DM and CC We have a big archery tournament all weekend that the archery club organise with archers coming from all over the country. White stuff may make it interesting we are forecast it for tomorrow. It is indoors but the travelling could be tricky! I had hoped we had had enough for this winter but that doesn't seem to be the case Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 I drove out to a village 3 miles from town and a bit higher (to see to a poorly chook) and they had snow settled on cars, some on the ground and it was snowing quite hard. Soon stopped but it has been cold and damp all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Sunny and cold for the past couple of days but wet and nasty today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It was so cold yesterday, couldn't get warm at all, today is slightly better only by a degree or so, but it is wet and sleety, totally horrible outside at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I am actually quite fed up with winter now and wrapping myself up in woolies and blankets to keep warm while struggling to keep the heating at a temp i can afford to pay the bill on. I want some sunshiney warmth right now, this dreary weather has gone on and on ...since July in fact and i don't want it any more . So i think i should offer it up for sale on ebay.

Groovychook Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Lovely crisp day yesterday and nice today too if a little cloudier. We hit the balmy heights of 13.5 degrees earlier! Lovely to feel a bit of warmth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Been down at my folks for a couple of day, looking after my mother while Pops takes a break. Drove down with snow all around us, they actually had more than we did, then woke up on Thursday morning to find it had all gone. Lovely and sunny today, got back mid-afternoon and spent that golden hour of light walking the dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Bright and sunny in south Oxfordshire; a nice break from gloomy skies and rain! Even contemplated putting the washing out but couldn't find the line prop Still loads of water lying about in the surrounding fields tho, its going to take a long time to drain properly .

chickencam Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Lovely yesterday afternoon and again today, we got outside cleaned out both sets of chickens and cut down a huge lavatera (sp) with a view to moving the Eglu and run over the weekend.

The Dogmother Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'm hoping for clement weather over the weekend so that I can give the housing a darned good jetwashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 If we got the jet washer out at the moment I think that not just the chicken housing but our house too would wash down the hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now just got to work out what we can plant on ground that has had chickens on it for over 5 years and loads of bark clippings so probably wierd PH and rather rich.

Groovychook Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Beautiful day here too. It was a bit cloudy during the early afternoon but later on it was sublime. So much milder and cheerful out there... shouldn't tempt fate but it feels like Spring is just around the corner! Saw my first daffodil blooming today too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
