[in the hills]

Been snowing here in Mid Wales since 5am .... still coming thick and fast. Blizzard like and the wind is bitter.

Children are out sledging and building a snowman. Cant believe we were in t stirts and eating al fresco last week!

Sheep ... keep everything crossed for another day  or two.

Snowing here, harsh sleety stuff
Sheba the dog is disappointed we can't make snowballs with it, its too slushy!
Electric been off til about 20 minutes ago, ice breaking the wires apparently...

[jaykay]

Oh, I'm glad you've got your electricity back.

I got out the candles etc. last night, especially with the high winds too, but not only did the electricity stay on, so did the Internet (whispering in case it hears and goes off.......

[little blue]

Had to wrap the incubator up in blankets!

Dare I admit ... we have a generator ... but no oil or petrol for it   ir any money to get some (or enough left  to syphon it out of the car!!)

[FiB]

will it ever stop?  As for in the hills, its been snowing now since 10 pm last night and is still blizzard.  We built and igloo this morning!!! 

[in the hills]

Oh no, FiB! Dont know where you are but hope it stops for you soon.

Great to hear that some people tell us where they live before we get a weather update. Its not snowing here though ?!?!?!
also i had to google Ochils. They have a Mountaineering club and they are in Scotland near Stirling - but they do not give an altitude either. Is it snowing at sea level or 100 feet up?
Hope it warms up soon for everyone and we can crack on with spring planting.

[FiB]

We are bala, North Wales and have got off really lightly all winter!!  Payback time today!.  Chickens didnt go out all day, Children didnt come in all day and sheep milled around looking miserable!  I tried to entice them in to the barn full of hay, but no, they seemed to enjoy looking the martr!

snow settled to around the 400-500ft line as best i can make out from my map

we are at about 200ft and it never settled but the view was stunning.

Just a few clicks north of the west end of the M4  @ 117 mtr above sea level ..
Several hours of fine hard driven sleet .. just taking the dog to his loo in the garden has chilled me to the bone despite my being well wrapped up .

 I lit a big four inch candle 9 hous warming pressy seven years ago ) in the glasshouse again this evening to try and keep the temp above 45 oF   .... it worked lat night ,so fingers crosed it will do the same tonight .
