The Dogmother Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) The frost here melted around lunchtime, and it clouded over. We've had light snow flurries since 5.30pm, but nothing substantial. I always leave my bedroom window open a crack (on a restrictor) but it doesn't really go below 17deg in there if the heating is on. I took a hot water bottle to bed last night though - more for cosiness than needing the warmth. I hope it warms up tomorrow as I am outside for a lot of the day Edited January 20, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Our room is regularly between 10 and 13 degrees during the day and we tend to close the window at night since we had our new double glazing because it shuts out the traffic noise.

The Dogmother Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Bejaysus!!! Just looked out and it's snowing like mad... big, fat, wet ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Gosh you have lot have some extreme weather! We had a very boring grey day. Luckily it was dry and not too cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Snowing here on and off since 4.30 as well. Bitterly cold too. I'm snug as a bug but OH has to drive home from his studio at midnight so I'll wait up for him. Yesterdays snow hadn't cleared in places either, there was a patch on the drive and a fair bit of the garden was hanging on to it, looked quite seasonal when the robins flew in but the hens weren't impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Very wet here now, I doubt it will settle unless it gets a lot colder over night. Hope your OH gets home safely, CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 We have had sleet blowing horizontally for much of the evening, it is dry at the moment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Still frozen here this morning and we've had another load of big snow on my way into work, with more promised. As I work 3/4 hour away from home, Dad's on snow-watch at home and will ring me if it starts to look dodgy there, and I'd hopefully make it back before the hill becomes impassable. Got plenty of clothing and grippy wellies in the car in case hiking is called for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I flailed and swore, but didn't go down. There is snow lying on the way to work, but none here, just mist and drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 We just had sleety heavy rain during the night and it is a balmy 5 degrees here. I am glad because we have to take DS to the airport to go back to St Andrews, looks ok at that end too. I have been worried about him getting back. Once there is is ok equipped with warm clothes and Yak Trax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not stopped here since before 7.00 Both Woodhead and Snake Passes are shut and the M62's looking dodgy Glad to hear you're ok DM. I've had no calls from home yet, so no excuse for a dramatic departure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Same here; really cold this afternoon. Car was frozen up when I went to go out at 6.30pm, had to de-ice it again when I left to come back an hour later very clear out there, and bitterly cold again.
