  snow,snow and more snow here. The gritters forgot our portion of the a1 when I went tom work at 7am this morning  southbound was blocked by two cars horizontal. The drivers got out and looked ok of not a bit shaken 

[goosepimple]

Anke, peaks and troughs, snow is always so local and we seem to get it at our bit more often than most, we're quite high up here.
 
VF, that's not a log splitter its a weapon of mass destruction, would split more than logs I reckon.
 
I got carried away by the couple of warm days and got 2ft cut off my hair (yes that's 2ft) and have been wearing a cosy fleece hat ever since, doesn't come off until bedtime    was much to the disappointment of our 9yr old son who cried when he saw me, took a bit of coming round    I just look the same if I keep the hat on but it'll be another 2 years until it grows back

You can grow 2ft of hair in 2 years?  It'd take me around ten years to grow that length.

Bit chilly here.    The sun did make an effort to come out but decided it was too cold and went back in again.  Yesterday we had a few flakes of the nasty white stuff (NWS) but none today.  Hope it passes us by.  I do not like NWS.

bit chilly here too (+3 to +4 in the mornings - indoors)

But DRY  And I've seen more  in the last 2 weeks than in the entire summer/autumn/winter put together. So I'm not complaining.

[goosepimple]

You're right mab, lets be greatful for small mercies, and it's hard underfoot, no mud. 
 
 
What you building with a kit frame VF - a nice gallery to show off all your lovely pics?

I nearly got caught out by  last week. It was cold and the ground hard underfoot but I was very active cutting wood and kept warm. A few flecks of snow and frozen water of a morning is not unusual. We woke to snow yesterday and just a trickle of water in the house - pipes nearly frozen despite new lagging in the barn. I let a tap drip last night - snow been falling since 06:50
Looks like another day stuck in the house unless the snow stops and I can find something to do out of the cold wind.

It started snowing in the wee small hours and has been constant. We've had big flakes and little bits. The forecast is for snow all day today and tomorrow and Tuesday morning. It always looks very picturesque here when it snows as there are so many fir trees around. It just feels as if it should be December not February!

Good day for you Petit frogs to look at recipe books and seed catalogues I think

I wanted to do so much,but I really cannot handle it, it is just so bitter. I have some new friend visiting as well and wanted to take some photo's, a handful of Pheasants which follow me for corn and talk to me, they are gorgeous, and I have noticed a green woodpecker and he looks like he wishes to make a home in the very bottom oak

Snow snow and snow here. I am not sure if it has stoped since I woke up to a few inches of the white stuff before 07:00. Nearly out of logs agian so i best venture outside again before stacking the fire and setting the kitchen tap to drip before bed. A dripping tap will keep the pipes from freezing.

goosepimple I'm building a shed 2 houses wide and 2 long its for when i PAC up in 4 ya res time

[goosepimple]

...you men and your sheds  ..

[NormandyMary]

Woke up to a fairly thick covering of the white stuff this morning, despite my fear of it, I managed to drive to the doctors for my appointment, it was quite slippery in the car even with 4wd. On the way back it was slightly better as the temperature had risen, and now its nearly all gone and its raining..but its still bitterly cold with freezing wind. No wonder my hands are cold and dry!!
Im not usually a summer person, but Im seriously looking forward to it this year!
