soapdragon Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Watched some people canoe ing down Chalgrove high street this lunchtime.

Hoping we can make it to the pub for YS birthday lunch tomorrow More rain forecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Raining here too, just a wee bit though, and the wind isn't too bad yet. Soapdragon, your comment about canoeing reminds me of the bad floods we had just after Rosie was born - the Ex used to be a white water instructor and went down to practise in a car park near the Cherwell as the conditions were perfect.

The Dogmother Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Pretty wet and windy last night, but this morning is bright, breezy and 5deg. Not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Blowing a gale and tipping down, met office issued an amber weather warning. The huge tree behind our garden is swaying too much for my liking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clucker1 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thunder, lightning and hale this am, the temperature dropped from 8 degrees to 4.5 in just a few minutes. Brrr. Now wind, thought not too bad at the moment. Chickens back in their run though, they go a bit bonkers in the wind! They think they are those dinosaurs with wings!

chickencam Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Lovely fresh sunny day yesterday and this morning was nice until midday, then we had heavy rain by 3 although it has now stopped, must get out to the ladies before it starts again.

Groovychook Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Strong winds and heavy showers, but we are having a few sunny spells- albeit very brief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Didn't get thunder but we had hail this morning. Very blustery showers and sunshine. Glad I did the cube yesterday! Even got the eglu set up ready but the plastic has almost blown off now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 We've lost some plastic in the garden and couldn't find the lid to our compost bin I knew I needed to get a few bits of shopping, so I braved going out..... The drive was very very scary on a few occasions my car was blown sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gertie Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Went to Weston Super Mare today (great day for a beach side walk eh!) . Very cold & very strong winds. Had to buy a child's wooly hat with ear flaps from a charity shop to wedge onto my head as mine kept blowing away. Here its wet & windy but not too bad at the moment.

The Dogmother Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Was lovely, if rather windy, here today. Rain started around 3pm and it's thrashing away outside again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I noticed that the wind picked up to it's worst whenever the rain appeared - seemed to calm down when it cleared. But wet and windy night - judging from the puddles. Not seen rain yet but it is extremely windy. Some lighter moments when the sun manages to sneak a peek through.

chickencam Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Quite breezy here today and we it got suddenly dark and we had a sharp shower about half an hour ago, but now it is sunny better than it has been all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 We've had lots of hail storms and a very chilly wind. Not all bad though- quite a bit of sunshine too- the chooks have had a good spell out of their run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It has not been a bad day here, mostly dry and bright but the strong wind was very chilly. The rain kept threatening but didn't really amount to anything though. The garden is just dreadful though, sliding around in the mud everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Apart for the odd shower, it's been quite nice here once the wind died off a bit. I was down south (Herts) seeing my folks and there's not nearly as much rain there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjp Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 looks like a good hard frost here and no wind for the first time in a few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Brrr. Not a very hard frost, but the air is very cold and it's clouding over now, so might get warmer. 3deg here outside my office, and 9deg in the office have put both heaters on and wearing my coat!

Groovychook Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Feels much colder this morning, 6 deg at the moment and drizzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 No frost that I could see first thing. It is dull, no rain and only a slight hint of movement in the trees. The sun has tried but it's a bright sort of dull if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
