The Dogmother Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Thick fog on Sunday morning, and pretty murky most of the day. Luckily not too cold. It was drizzling when I went to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyTrish Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Well, as they say in these parts "it's fell dreich" today. Translation - it's foggy and damp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beantree Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Unusually wet here; I can see muddy streams running down the fields on the other side of the valley. Forecast says rest of France is fairly dry! Heading for a more typical cold Winter spell though, cold with sunshine all day and hard frosts in the morning.

The Dogmother Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Lovely here this morning, and mild too. Clouding over though. I hear that we are due a big freeze next week - there's always a last blast, isn't there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Belting down with rain last night around 11.00pm.....still damp and dreary this morning but with no more rain forecast for a few days - just the colder temps and overnight dips to -3/5 over the next week! I am always sceptical of forecasts more than a few days ahead though; as OH so eloquently puts it ' A seagull only has to f**t over the Atlantic and it'll all blow the other way'! Hence I only ever look a couple of days ahead (weatherwise!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyTrish Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 A hard frost first thing but it's lovely and sunny and warming up slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad needed a sleep because he was tired and we stopped on Dartmoor. My brother was little and was fidgeting around in the back with mum. I was riding shotgun. He was so angry when it was all quiet at last and I went "OWWWWWOOOOOO!" Can't think why - everyone else laughed. I think we've had reasonable weather this week - rained in the night because I saw the puddles. Spitting a bit this evening but the moon does peek out of the clouds so not bad. Not cold either.

The Dogmother Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It was clear last night, but cold and overcast again this morning - replay of yesterday really, just colder. Forecast for next week looks horrid; lots of minus temperatures and snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Don't mention the S word. Beautiful here now, not a cloud in the sky but quite chilly already. So nice to have a cosy log in the wood burner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 nice bright day here so far wind picked up a couple of hours ago but it's not to bad to be out in it was cold enough ( more like a long enough cold snap than how cold it went) over night to put about an inch of frost into the ground down on the plot but I managed to finish digging no2 potato bed so hopefully I can put the rotivator through over the weekend only 22 or 32 days to spud planting weekend depending on weather I start planting St Patrick's day or Good Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 We've had really nice days - although very cold. Cracking sunsets! Was up in Daventry yesterday and walked around the reservoir - nice in sheltered spots but brrrr that wind! This morning I woke up to big snowflakes floating down like a pigeon preening. Very intermittent. As I type it's getting darker (blue sky to the west though) and a few more flakes. I could hear the children waiting for the school bus - very excited they were!

At least it looks like it will get warmer for you towards the end of the week Has been snowing little snow showers most of the day so far, but the sun has melted most of it. The Head at my school has been organising phone numbers for just in case on Thursday, the main day my area is forecast snow So much easier to deal with when the decision has been made. I get very anxious when it is snowy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrannyTrish Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Snow showers here with a dusting on the ground. We're forecast for snow all week with Thursday being the worst day.

Luvachicken Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 - 2 here at the moment and we've just had half an hour of really heavy snow. My area wasn't meant to be getting snow until Thursday. We got down to -7.1 last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullethunter Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Bitterly cold here. Minus 5 last night and supposed to be colder tonight. As Bernadette probably isn’t totally back to full weight yet I’ve bought a snugglesafe which I’ve been putting under the roosting bars in the Cube when we go to bed, and I’ve blocked the gaps between the poo trays and the back door and the big vent in the back door with rolled up bubble wrap (vents in the sides are still open for some air flow but not at bottom level!). No snow yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I drive back through intermittent snow showers, then got between Js 10 and 11 on the M40 and drove into a white-out; down to 40mph and foggies on! It is now -2deg here and we're not expected to get the worst, in terms of both temperature and snow until Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
