Rain, sun, rain, wind, ginormous puddles, mud, river at top of banks, full ditches.  But - the poor people on the Somerset Levels are worse off, so mustn't moan too much.

roll on Spring!

One of my main reasons for moving to the Central Belt was that i was pretty sure there'd be a lot less snow than where I came from - Aberdeenshire.   Hate the stuff.  Got snowed in on  important occasions  too many times for me to like it AT ALL! - Like not getting to Crufts in March!  And nearly missing my nephews wedding in  Inverness - got there by the skin of my teeth courtesy of a friend in the village with a landrover, an other neighbour who is a signalman and held teh train fro me, and a 4 x 4 taxi at  the other end.

Did I mention I hate snow?

Winter oh yes but not a white one but a very wet one from Llyswen Powys.Surely we wont hear the word DROUGHT in 2014.

[Marches Farmer]

A bit of snow here this morning but it didn't settle.  I am now officially FED UP with the weather.  I know this because my language through the day, trekking through mud with rain being driven horizontally down the valley courtesy of 45mph gusts, has steadily deteriorated from the polite to the scurrilous.  Have you seen the weather forecast for Wednesday ....?!

i was so excited the first winter at the prospect of snow, not knowing that it was all actually a big lie, i laid in emergency supplies for a month just in case...


please remember my nearest shop is all of  a 5 minute walk in even bad weather....


this is my third winter and so far in scotland I have seen about 1 inch of snow total.


Oh and to cap it off last winter the midlands we had left as it never gets snow had 8inches that stayed for a fortnight...


I feel my complaints are justified, it was false advertising I tell you...

No snow in Shropshire - it's actually quite a nice sunny day after all the rain x

Didn't last long though. Most of the day it rained.

[Penninehillbilly]

Started bright and sunny this morning, since then poured down, scary high winds in afternoon, white stuff tonight but I think it was turning to mush as I gave the goats their late feed.
Apart from a heatwave I think that covers everything in one day.
 
Having been flooded for just a few hours, I really don't know how those poor people in somerset are managing to cope with it, I know you do because you have to, but I really feel for them, it's weeks now.

[sokel]

Well this morning was a nightmare as it changed to rain during the night then froze  so we had thick ice on top of the snow 
its been heavy rain most of the day today so most of the snow and ice has gone

  Hosepipe ban imminent in Somerset?

 For the last 36 hrs it's been pretty gruesome  cold fine rain , cold  hard rain , cold  stair rods  , light sleet, heavy sleet  hail and any combination that you care to think of.
 It's become a bit brassy tonight , just taken the dog out to be clean and wished I'd have been clever enough to put a hat and heavy jacket on,  I looked like a page three gal with chapel hat pegs after just a few minutes outside waiting for him to finish . 

[jaykay]

It's hovering on the edge of snow and rain, so for a few hours it snows, then it rains on top of it.......Just had a sleet downpour. Gotta gather sheep for scanning in a minute, please let it stop for a while.

My poor sodden, limping sheep.

I'm so sick of mud.
