The Dogmother Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 All melting here now, and the lanes are open, so I am going off to collect the dogs in a bit. It's around 1deg and forecast for warmer tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Up to 3 degrees here today - tropical! Has been raining too so almost all traces of snow have gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 We've got mountains of dirty snow everywhere where the roads have been ploughed. Can't see them melting any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Turned the heating off today - it was too warm! We were out in the garden for a while, the girls are now living in the eglu in the greenhouse so we can dismantle the cube ready to move and the turf going down. Except it's now a quagmire in the garden. It rained this evening and the wind picked up and it's still raining. I expect to see no snow left by morning. DD went on the same walk we all did together on Sunday, only it took almost an hour per mile. I asked why it took so long if it was in sub-zero temperatures. She said it was only -1 and she had to jump in every snow drift she found. Later she said it was snowing again this evening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyTrish Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 It's still snowing here. Teeny tiny flakes though and 1oC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 A bit of a grey day really - we may have had a smidgeon of sun earlier though - it wasn't enough. But quite mild and we've been in the boggy garden all day clearing up and dismantling the cube. That was the dry part of the garden. Still little bits of snow around but pretty much all clear now apart from behind the greenhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula123 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Wednesday was bitterly cold here and the overnight temperatures were -9 on Monday and Tuesday. Since Thursday it has warmed up and been between 16 a 18 degrees. This was lunch today outside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 We had more sun this late afternoon but raining again this evening. Spent almost all day in the garden - more fresh air in one day than I've had in weeks! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyTrish Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Well, it's still snowing here, grrrr! However, there was some rain overnight which softened the snow so I was able to make a wee route for the girls so that they didn't have to walk on the snow! Spoilt, I know! And look at the wellies that arrived today! I love them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I missed Ursula's piccy! Fab view. We had another grey day but we also had a fair bit of sunshine. Started raining this afternoon though. Again no heating on! OH is delighted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Not a bad day today, the sun shone enough to dry the rotavated soil so it could be raked. Needs a little more dry weather to break down the clumps a little more, but unfortunately I can hear rain lashing at the windows at the moment. Ah well. We'll have to wait a few more days for the turf to be laid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyTrish Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 We now have green grass as opposed to white! And our girls are sunbathing and loving it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Yep, roadkill days have arrived! Rained very heavily in the early hours but since sun up, it's been dry and reasonably sunny. Wind has picked up a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Another rain on and off day but it did get misty in parts while travelling home last night. This morning said it was supposed to have the odd thunderstorms dotted throughout the day. Bearing in mind my fear of them I hastily went on to the radar (helpful - not) and then satellite. There's a huge swirly just off Cornwall! The tail is flicking round Iceland so they can keep it, but it seems to be pushing other itty bits up from Spain/Portugal/France over the Bay of Biscuits. There does seem to be an overload of swirlies lately! So at the moment it's warm, has rained a bit, but dry at the moment. I see blue sky to the west and yuk to the east. We are under the yuk bit. On the brighter side - we won't need to water the turf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
