Lavenders_Blue Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 There were lambs out in a field I walked through today - or perhaps our local farmers are particularly callous?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 When we walked to the farm shop for vegies and lunch there were sheep in the fields with their lambs. Still snowing but the village road has thawed a lot but if it freezes tonight driving will be very interesting. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 the only lambs in fields around here must have been January births as they are pretty big and sturdy looking. I guess the later lambs will be in barns still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Snow all day here and still coming down. Roads are clear, but they are going to be dodgy after they freeze tonight, we have a good 10+ cms. It's not nice snow, too wet for any fun. My girls are not impressed and I have my first stubborn broody of the year . She has been in solitary for a few days, I did briefly cool her undercarriage off in a drift, then towelled her dry. She is in with the others now, as it is going to be cold tonight.

Charlottechicken Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Frozen overnight here, so lots of ice with the snow. I thought it had stopped last night before I went to bed but it was really fine, and all footprints from yesterday have vanished overnight and it is still snowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 South of Oxford we have no snow. Just very cold with deep puddles left from yesterday's sleet. Not sure what's in store for us today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Very wet here yesterday evening but it has been snowing very lightly most of the night and there's about another inch and some has settled on areas which were clear yesterday. The temp is only hovering around freezing and the road outside is frozen on top of the snow. I have to drive Rosie out to triathlon swimming practice this evening - it's in a small village about 20 mins away and through tricky lanes. The instructor says that it is on, but I'l go out after lunch and check that the road is clear as parts of that route are quite exposed.

Lavenders_Blue Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Lots and lots of snow here today! It's been drifting and is very deep in places - it came over the top of my wellies a couple of times this morning and the dog nearly disappeared into a couple of deep spots Hubby and I are supposed to be heading off to Norfolk for a few days this afternoon, but we've decided to postpone until (at least) tomorrow to give the roads a chance to clear a bit before we travel.

The Dogmother Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Good luck with the journey L_B, we're over in Norfolk for a few days over easter and are hoping the roads will be clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 OH has just braved the road out of the village and the snowdrifts at the side of the road are very impressive and in some places partly across the road. He came back and got me so I could see too. Not looking forward to the drive to school in the morning. DS and his girlfriend and her family are supposed to be going to Scotland for a few days in the morning Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I think it has finally stopped snowing here I've just cleared six inches of snow off the car in preparation for going to work tomorrow. The roads are mainly clear, but the skies are too and we are heading for a frost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 It's sub-zero here now and freezing up. Got Rosie out to swim training although the car park there was snowed in so we parked in the lane outside; some eejits tried to get in there but ended up stuck on the snow and ice. I have parked facing downhill in anticipation of either snow or ice in the morning. The dogs really enjoyed their loon in the snow, although some of the drifts were so deep that they went over my wellies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Leia Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Finally stopped snowing here about midday. which was good as the girls needed to be cleaned out. Although they had to be dug out first! They are not at all happy! Some good drifts in the garden-this was Saturday, before it got too deep to walk in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Cold but completely clear of snow here. Can't say I'm sorry. Watching Sky News answered my lamb question. Photographs of dead lambs buried in deep snow. Sad. One farmer said they were warned for one foot of snow but got more like eight feet.

The Dogmother Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 No more snow here over night, but what is left is very icy now. Some of the lanes I drive down to work have 2-3 foot drifts along the hedges at the side, in places this has blown across the road making passing a bit dodgy in places. Snowplough out at work yesterday so the farm drive is clear but the main drive (which is quite hilly) is like the Cresta Run .... one of the guys crabbed down it in a landy yesterday and said it was very scary, hopefully they'll get that cleared today too.

Egluntyne Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Snowing heavily here first thing, bit bright and subnn now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Guess what..... it's snowing again only tiny flakes but it is very cold and the wind is bitter. There's a surprising amount of snow still nestled in 6-8" high drifts against hedges and verges, one lane that I take to work also has snow across the road in one area. Had a lovely few days in Norfolk; brisk wind, but sunny and lovely, no sign of snow either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Snowing here too. But it's that itty bitty stuff. Horizontal too as it's quite windy with it but thankfully dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 We have had very light teeny tiny snow flakes for the past couple of hours. Not settling thankfully. It is bitterly cold though. I really want spring to well, erm, spring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
