soapdragon Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Belting down but at least that gave the poor Christmas tree a good drink and dust off when we took it outside this morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Beautifully bright and sunny but the wind has been picking up through the morning and, as it was dustbin day today, there have been a few bins blown over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Lovely day here but very windy. Thankfully calmer than in other parts of the UK though Managed to get the cube cleaned out and changed most of the bedding. It's such a faff when the chooks are all milling around though Still feels fairly mild here for the time of year but maybe all that will change tomorrow...

soapdragon Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Chucking it down since 11.00am and heavy snow forecast fom 6.00 so will be such fun when all that water sloshing round out there turns into ice - doh Not looking forward to the school run tomorrow!

Luvachicken Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Snowing here now It's been pouring down with rain all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Possibly he most horrible weather day working outside since I've been in this job. Torrential rain from start. 6 degrees first thing, wind got up late morning so sideways torrential rain, then from around lunchtime the temperature started to drop. My last stop saw me huddled behind a wall trying to keep out of driving torrential sleet and 1 degree. Horrible. Blizzardy snow across the moors on my way home. Got back - sun came out!! Typical. Â Now windy, cold and hail/sleet showers. Don't fancy the ice in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Rain most of the day, which turned to sleet late afternoon. Seemed to have eased off when I got home, but am just about to take the dogs out, so will see how it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Quack quack quackety quack! Â I'm getting webbed feet! Throw me a lifebelt somebody! Honestly this rain is persistent and a fair few flooding in parts. Some places had huge ponds across the road last night and I don't think it stopped for a breather since! Â All I can say is that the girls aren't particularly bothered about being locked in with all this and the snow (which luckily wasn't too bad here) so they aren't exactly missing the great outdoors.

Valkyrie Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hubby said it was -7 this morning and -2 this evening. Either way it's blinking cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 This morning's frost has stayed all day - comet to think of it I am not sure if yesterday's ever thawed either! Bright and sunny but, oh, so cold! Might even have to get the bedsocks out tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Was - 5.8 for us last night. I'll be taking an extra blanket to bed tonight. Â Our frost hasn't cleared either. It's looking a lot like snow at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 We had some rain in the night and it's cold, grey and damp this morning Yuk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Nice to have something different Groovy! Now come summer we'll be back to wanting sunshine! Apparently in South Farnborough it had recorded -8.1 on Friday night. I can believe that! I have no idea what it is today but -2 last night around 5pm, so possibly very much lower overnight and this morning. Today the house across the road that's front is in the shade all the time until later in the year has frost over frost over frost - it looks like snow! Same for the very shaded areas of our garden. Although the sunsets have been beautiful with that deep blood-red on the horizon. No clouds, just the strip of colours changing to night. Ahhhh. Brrrrr! But it doesn't feel as cold as Friday although it's colder than yesterday. Brass monkeys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Well, rather amazingly, the sun has come out and we're basking in 7.5 deg It's turned into a beautiful afternoon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 It has been lovely here today, but very cold out of the sun and the frost hasn't melted in the shade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 My Dad has told me the cold spell is going to continue for a while. I much prefer the cold and frost and sunny days Freezing here though and someone has been filmed skating on Fleet Pond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Wow! Hope it wasn't thawing out while they were on it. Â All the drinkers have been turned back into water - a thick bucket of ice is now half water half ice. One pot started growing ice an inch over the rim! But it's shlooped back down. Our neighbour's house that looked like snow all over yesterday now has normal roof and front garden, so it's very mild compared with more recent temperatures. I don't think I'll get my cozzie on just yet though. Foggy start to the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
