Valkyrie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Friday, yukky and wet, Saturday nice and today better still. Went to Romsey for a walk. Which twerp forgot about the river then! So we left Mim in the car reading her book while we went for a walk only to find the paths blocked off. The memorial park was completely under water - the river flows pretty fast even in the summer so it was amazing to see the fields we normally wander around submerged.

The Dogmother Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Was bright when I went to bed, now cloudy and 4deg, so I guess more rain is on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Sky looks quite threatening so rain to come, I m working until 2pm so it will not affect me. The ground had started drying out so no puddles today, ah well no doubt it will be a return to puddles this afternoon *checks bank account for suitable funds to escape to somewhere warm with the flock* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Tipping down here too. Going to be another wet day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Overcast here. Still studying but hope to get it finished today, so I am sure it will rain by the time II am done Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Only a few drops of rain so far, yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Think we are in for a good frost overnight though as it was proper chapel hat pegs out there when I tucked the chicken in. Never heard this one before, could you explain please? I'm sure this is no consolation at all, but the weather has been pretty rough here in Portugal as well, with structural damage on the coast, but nothing as bad as the South Coast and Wales. We had our mega storm the weekend before the UK did, losing power for hours on end and the phone/internet for a week. We are also fed up with the incessant rain, although yesterday was glorious and it was lovely and warm in the sun. Today however has reverted to grey cold, and we are virtually sitting on the woodburner, in 4 layers, trying to keep warm. I keep thinking about how bad it would be trekking up our garden in the UK which was always muddy and soggy in a regular winter. My thoughts are with you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Almost OK yesterday, we did have rain though. Today I've seen sunshine - briefly. It rained a lot in the night and now it's been stair rods for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Driving back last night was horrible, driving rain and spray everywhere. Bright and still here this morning, no actual sun yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Mild and drizzly this morning, we've had sunshine and the cloud is higher than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Overcast this morning, we had a shower mid afternoon and the sun has been out for the past hour, going cold now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Quite bright at the end of the day, and a lovely sunset too. Looks like it'll be a cold night though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Mix of sunshine and showers today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Lots of heavy rain but then the sun did come out - had the threatening clouds and the odd spit after that. Weirdest was the evening when the sun bounced off a cloud and lit the parts of the room that never see the sun - it was as if it was in the north!!!

Valkyrie Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Mixed bag today, a little sun (rare) a few blue strips of sky, lots of clouds of varying shapes, a little rain so we don't forget it. This morning it was pretty - like a quilted cloud cover with light in the "seams". Then it rained and didn't last long. But whatever it is better than the torrential rubbish we keep getting.

Guest Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Not too bad here today, the mud is finally starting to dry out a little, if we could just get 3 dry days together it would make a huge difference to the mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Been lovely today, and quite mild. A lot less water around now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Mizzly, drizzly and none of the sunshine promised - will probably be lovely tomorrow when I am in Tesco and the swimming pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hmmm currently dry but tastes like rain is imminent. Hopefully it will just be a shower as my puddles have almost all gone now and I don't want them filling up again thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Same grotty drizzley day yesterday, got heavier at night. Certainly heavy overnight. Still wet this morning. Dark and miserable. Tastes like rain - I know exactly what you mean as I say smells like rain is on it's way when we are out and about. You just know it's suddenly got a different flavour to the air!

Eggasperated Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It's been a mostly damp drizzly week here, quite mild though - and lots of bulbs appearing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
