Here in southern Scotland there's spikey snow coming in on a horizontal wind but only settling in odd corners.  No-one's lambing into it yet but forecast to carry on into tonight - hope they keep their legs crossed a bit longer

The BBC said that the UK is more likeley to get snow at Easter than at Xmas. Not sure how other religous holidays stack up but I was surprised by that fact.

Sympathy to all of you in the north who have it bad - bit of a blow after the taste of spring especially if you started gardening or have young animals.

We probably had about 5 inches but It's been drifting so it's over a foot deep in places. I've had to put the hen with chicks in one of the spare houses as they can't walk through this stuff

AND your vest off - think you were teeny bit previous, Sandy      No more snow here but it is blooming cold.  Got the stove on so nice and toasty.

Rain turned to snow here now and getting very windy.
I hope his mum has taken her lamb into the barn - will to and check.

Well still blustery snowshowers every 5 minutes here, it's bl**dy cold, wind straight North-east - the one open side of my hay/lambing shed.... Had to put some tarpaulin over the top of the lambing pens (only two lambed so far, but one lot of triplets one set of twins), the snow is blowing right in...

Managed to get the ones due in the next few days into the shed, just in case... so far none of them lambed today...

Got a roaring fire going too...

[Sandy]

Just had our humungosieroat heating bill and today had to put it on again as we have a load of night shifters in and its freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezin, mind you its warmed up now and I have not had the internet, some local problem...suns out but still cold (glad I didn't shave my legs after all) jumper and vest are staying put!!

[Berkshire Boy]

Well its lovely and sunny in mid Wales. I'm not religous but I am praying for deep snow betweem Liverpool and me otherwise the mother in law will be here.

 Heavy rain this morning turning to sleaty snow by this afternoon and a high of 2.
Icy wind and sleaty showers tonight. Tucked up in front of log burner now   

[Fowgill Farm]

Freezing winds and horiziontal wet snow coating all surfaces since 7pm last night, intermittent electricity loss (grr had to decide if needed generator getting out to keep heat on for piglets! decided they looked snug enough in a big straw nest next to mum), sunshine now in between squalling sleet showers, bloody cold.
Road between Pickering and Whitby is shut on the moor top, all local roads are flooded in parts and icy in others. Yuk.

Just been out to the hoggs - knee high drifts on the leeside of the banks, high winds still and very cold, but it's stopped snowing for now and is brightening up.

[Sandy]

Suns out but chilly...I must say for anyone living near the Ochil Hills, they do look stunning covered in snow with the sun blazing on them, any photos make them look like hills but in reality they are awesome, especially as you que in Tesco and can see them looming!!

[doganjo]

Brilliant - views.


I've just been admiring them from my lounge window.  Admire is all I can do though - used to climb Munro's with John (a LOT higher than the Ochils!) but not allowed to do anything like that now. 

Glad no white stuff on the ground but might  put the stove on again today as it is so cold out.  Dogs didn't mind it though, hunted around as usual.

[Sandy]

I would never go up anything higher than Clackmanan Tower Hill and being unfit and creaky is the best excuse but I hate hights.....would love a photo of them but they NEVER look good like they do when you see them!!!.
