Some clouds gathering now. you've got some more cloud on it's way but I don't think it's going to drop any water on anywhere soon as it's already starting to brake up here at it looks like the wind speed at cloud height is a look faster than at roof top height but I think it's going to be a patchy cloudy or sunny morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Lovely and bright this morning; bloomin' cold with a sharp frost but a perfect winter's morning. However, now (at 10 mins to school kick out ) dark grey skies and brooding clouds. Â Just looked up the weather forecast for the weekend and its heavy rain all the way through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 2deg and soft rain here this morning. Forecast looks like rain all weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 miserably grey and damp here and not a breath of wind judging from the boiler vents and trees opposite Me there was a heavy frost and ice when I went to bed about 2am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Rain - AGAIN! Has been pouring all morning here; have decided against my route round the village. Last time I did it in the rain a car went past at great speed (in a 30 limit!) and completely soaked me. Whatsisname's Law that I was just at the halfway point so had to carry on for another mile and a half soaked to the skin and fuming. Â Forecast grim for tomorrow too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 We've had snow for part of the day but that's thawing know with a return to grey and damp with a hint of mist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 A miserable day here. Has rained on and off all day. Sometimes the rain was mixed with snow. The forecast on my phone had said snow for most of the day. Fortunately we didn't get that. Sleet and heavy rain forecast for tomorrow. Just what we don't need. Our drive is already like a mud bath. It was a nice gravel drive when we moved in but it is now just mud in parts. Â Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Yay more grey dismal days and a bit of snow a short while ago. Settled but nothing much - the grass look like it's been dusted with icing sugar - and it's stopped now thank goodness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Just more rain and gales here. I honestly think we’ve had about 2 days since before Christmas when we’ve had anything other than this. Really fed up of it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Heavy but slushy snow here this morning Has eased off a bit now but still making a vague effort to chuck the white stuff down. Bleugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Snow on the hills around here but all we have had is 2 days of persistent heavy rain. There is so much water everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 We have had snow today. This afternoon we had some rain so now the snow is very wet and slushy. Glad it doesn't look like it will freeze tonight or it would be a skating rink. OH has to leave at 5.00 in the morning to go to Southampton so I hope the roads are ok.

The Dogmother Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Spent the weekend in the Forest of Dean - rain both days and a little snow over last night. Horrible drive back though - pouring rain, thick fog and loads of surface water most of the way, making visibility very poor. There was snow alongside the road and wet snow down the middle of the roads between Stow and Chipping Norton; was glad to get home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyTrish Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 We've hardly had any snow this winter but surrounding counties have. It has been freezing, though, and our bird bath has cracked because of the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 S-s-s-s-s-stop that, kid! Please! S-T-O-P, stop! You're rockin' the forest! Â Â My mother: "we have nice days and then we get a day of rain to spoil it." Â Me: "we have horrid wet and windy days with one day of sun now and again." Â It's a paddy field at the bottom of the garden - but it's becoming quite boggy on the front lawn too! Thank goodness we are on a hill!

The Dogmother Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 VERY windy here last night, and it didn't improve with daylight either. Some heavy rain squalls too  Muddy here, but we haven't had masses of rain... yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 more or less the same here We did get a fair heavy down pour between 8-9am then persistent rain till about noon that on top of the snow Saturday and the day of rain on Sunday plus a bit Monday and Tuesday my muddy areas are now a swamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Got absolutely soaked walking home from my school job at lunch time. Thank goodness for my waterproof coat although my trousers were another matter. At least the wind had died down though when I left. And for a change, thanks to all the cars that actually drove around the puddles next to the pavement, instead of through them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Something strange happened today - sunshine and it was warm. Not enough to dry the paddy field but we did have some rain and it blew up a bit of a squall. Wind stopped and then back to sunshine! Got photos of some huge mammatus clouds before the rain!

Valkyrie Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Well sun has gone back to playing hide and seek. The grey has returned and we get tantalising brighter spells but no breaks in the cloud. We've just started our Vit D tablets for a booster. Thumbs up by OH's surgeon to take them!
