mullethunter Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Happy here too 😁😁 I just absolutely love warm sunny weather and the last 3 days it’s been well into the teens early afternoon. I took the afternoon off today because it just seemed too much of an opportunity to miss. I can’t believe it’s February! Until 6 o clock that is when it’s suddenly very cold!

Valkyrie Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Frosty here this morning OH said it was -3! Greenhouse registered higher and spuds fine. Been a beautiful day, a little hazy still - says it is very humid! Heat haze but 75% humid? I didn't see how high it reached but double figures for sure. Had another walk and was desperate for a drink of water when we got back - only just over 3 miles though. I got a lot of prickly heat all over! When the sun dips down and the shadows lengthen it does get a bit nippy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Well we've had frosty mornings and the greenhouse still shows 10 degrees above! This morning it's misty and so warm. No breeze, the bunnies are out in force, the birds are singing merrily (apart from Trigger who is not a good singer at all) and it is pleasant. No clouds either! Still happy, happy, happy! Just melting and prickly heating!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 True to form our weather this morning was well away from the forecast, but the wrong way as 10C became a light frost on the car roof. Supposed to be 26C here later (in the shade) and then temperatures take a 10C tumble. Still no rain due this far South in the next week and we've had several weeks without so far; so we're watering some stuff already! Great for the Winter fuel bill though, as the central heating remains off and no need for a wood fire in the evening either. We had a rare fall of snow here on the 28th last year which brought everything to a standstill until it melted. Let's see what happens in March, as last year was an unusually long, wet and cold Winter and things could still turn this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Sunny and warm but the breeze was a little chillier. Due rain tomorrow Our mower arrived today and I had a go on it too. Needless to say his lordship pounced on it to mow the long parts of the lawn. Smells divine though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 So warm here today but, according to The Glums at The Met Office, the last lovely day for a week or so and we are warned to expect wet stuff. At least ES mowed the lawn (or should that be moss?) at the weekend - bless him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Funny wet stuff out here today! We had a brief appearance by the big warm round ball in the sky a while ago, but all dark again. OH is so glad the mower came in time!

Valkyrie Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Plenty of sunshine in between the odd shower. Lots of cloud but blue sky in between. Very windy so it blows over very quickly. Been using today as a potter indoors day, the only frustrating thing is my jumper is put on because when the sun is in it feels much cooler and when it's out - it's too warm and off the jumper comes again!

Daphne Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 What a gorgeous view you have! I know its been the hottest Feb on record in the UK, and we have also had a lovely month, although not record breaking. But yesterday and today we have irridescent clouds, which is where you can see rainbow colours in the clouds, a bit like looking at the irridescence in petrol on water, which are caused by tiny water or ice droplets apparently although there is absolutely no sign of rain down at Earth level! So, our good weather continues, allegedly around 20 degrees, although it is set to break on Sunday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Thank you. Sometimes I just stand in the field and think whoa, this is really it! We have had a change of warm to a nippy chill in the air. We've had a few showers and a lot more sunshine, but back to thick jumper and coat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I nearly lit a fire this evening..... Now worried about the Magnolia which thinks it is warm enough to flower. One frost and those flowers will be brown! The Clematis Amadine will surely suffer the same fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I’ve been stomping around London in a T-shirt Monday to Wednesday! It was absolutely lovely weather! And absolutely sweltering in the subway... much cooler on Thursday and a little drizzle here and there. And just plain cold back home today!

Luvachicken Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I spotted my resident blue tit gathering moss today - a bit early I'd have said. Chilly and grey here most of the day. I must admit it was nice not having to wear a coat home the last few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One frost and those flowers will be brown! My mum always knew when there would be the last frost of the year - she had a beautiful maroon magnolia in the front garden. Every year when it started to bloom - ooh Jack Frost came to visit again. When they turned brown she said well that's it, last frost. I drove past there last year - the owners still have it in the garden! I can hear rain on the windows at the moment, a gentle drippy drip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 The Magnolia and Clematis are continuing to think about blooming as it’s warm in the sun here in South Oxfordshire, although there is a bit of a bite to that wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 On and off rain all day on Sunday, the wind was building up all day and by the evening, it was howling across the chimney pots and bashing the windows. I went outand lashed everything down before bedtime. Bright and breezy this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
