Angie Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I definately do not want snow this week , next week or the week after, in fact i don't want any snow until late November. It just doesn't seem right to be thinking of snow yet. As for my postman , he wears trousers as he has thin shapeless pins for legs and he wears walking boots with a good pair of woolie socks turned over the tops . Not that i have paid much attention you understand No , no snow until i have finished my course of hydro therapy which ends end of Nov . Coming out of a nice warm pool into freezing muchy ice on the ground is not nice, need to keep the joints warm for the rest of the day to feel any benifit.

Egluntyne Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I went to a dinner in York last night with Him Indoors. It snowed for about half an hour and the cars outside were covered. It snowed a bit on the higher ground on the way home too. Brrrrrrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Which part of Leicestershire are you? Nothing Rutland Northants border but very cold. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 No more here overnight thank goodness and it was raining as I went to let the chooks out earlier. More is expected but hopefully its milder and it just falls as rain! Winter maybe just letting us know its round the corner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 We had snow last night Chrissie! Just a thin layer on the top of the coops and dustbath etc, but that would explain why the heating came on this morning when the thermostat is only set to 12 degrees! It can go away again now, it's only October for goodness sake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 that's not far from us! Rosie's just told me that the weather station sensor in the bathroom says that it's only 5deg out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Merlina you are not too far away. L_B I visited an ill friend first thing near Greetham and went through Cottesmore into Oakham and said to OH they have had some snow and he said no just frost, then we saw both saw it on the cars and he had to agree. It is too early, I really don't want any snow. It is bitterly cold out and the wind is wicked. Rosie my car said it was 2.0 at 8.30 and it went up to 4.5 by the time we got home. Keep yourself nice and warm! Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I have lit the fire for the first time this year.

Mrs Webmuppet Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 My car said 2 degrees c earlier! that was while LMW drove through a nasty sleet shower. We have sunshine now although I think it may be just a temporary thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I wasn't telling a fib! I think we often get some pretty bad weather in Cottesmore as we're up on the hill. According to my neighbour, if you go due east from Cottesmore you don't find any higher land until you reach the Ural Mountains! Don't know how true that is, but I can well believe it when it's perishingly cold in the middle of winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 How lovely to have so many other Omleteers nearby. There must surely be some scope for tea, cake and chooky-chat at some point in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
