we had about 3 inches of snow yesterday. I got up around 7 and went out to do horses, pigs and chickens, was in a rush as my niece was being christened so had to muck out and get done well in time for me to shower and change and guess what... we forgot to turn the outside taps off and the feeds to the auto drinking troughs.. you guessed it the blxxdy water pipe had come off the fitting for the pig water trough and water was gushing into the pig pen. Thankfully was able to turn off in the house and sort out when we got back from the christening as the trough was full so pigs had enough water for the day... but the pigs now have a frozen lake in the middle of the pig pen..These are the reasons why I hate the snow and cold. Roll on spring time please, it's a darn hard frost again here today.. and yes I turned the taps off last night thankfully..

I recon we had 2/3" judging by the snow on the shed roof I didn't go in an find a ruler just comparing it to a finger and its all gone off the roofs and road but its lying in the grass

not despairing pigles .....(says he swinging by a rope from the branch of a tree !!!!)... but I am just sooo p*ssed off with this weather . We had everything here today ...freezing wind ( well it was cold), rain, sleet, snow . Alright that isn't everything !! we didn't have mud slides  or earth quakes and the local volcano hasn't erupted for at least a week now , but it felt like everything . Today was rough .... it felt like winter  !!!  eh what .. it IS oh right !! I saw more snow drops today ....(no the flowers, not wet snowflakes) , so someone may have heard my order for spring to be delivered.....SOOOOOON please .


cheers

I was delayed three hours at Luton Airport last night because they had to close it for four hours in the morning.  I believe they had a fifth of a centimeter of snow 

[RUSTYME]

you have my sympathies Paul ......I hate the stuff . They said we could get 6" here today or tonight maybe , so we aren't out of the woods yet ... but a foot , please not down here ... The wind has gone and it is much warmer now , does that mean good or bad ?

cheers

Nothing here in Grimsby Is that 2m/m or about 1/8 of a inch Annie.One of our friends on here said shes coming Gy way today well North Killingholme anyway its nearly Gy I don't think it will snow it doesn't look like a snow sky

[HappyHippy]

Russ - in my experience when the freezing wind stops and it gets a bit milder snow is definately on the way 
We've got it AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe only 3 or 4 inches, but that's only been in the last 3 hours ! It's coming down hard and fast - the report's said 6 inches (did I believe it and go out and stock up ? eh, well - no !) We'll just have to wait and see how much we get this time !
I REALLY want it to be spring - had been planning my planting for the raised beds and we were even going to set up the polytunnel today lol! Not now we're not 
Ah, the wonder of the great british weather

Hey up Happy or is it miserable Hippy Allegedly (I do so love that word) 21st of March is the first day of spring and thats a month away Oh dear and I am so lookin forward to it

[RUSTYME]

yes that was what I was thinking Karen .... but we are snow free here still this morning. It is still much warmer than it has been for the last couple of days . It rained a fair bit last night ,and that took away any snow that was on the fields still , but it is dry so far this morning , no early morning soaking walking the dogs at least !!.  
 I hope your snow goes soon Karen , or at least you don't get too much more !!!


cheers

just seen the weather on BBC , they say that over the next day or so , in the highlands , anything up to around 18" of snow to be expected , with villages possibly cut off and deep drifting due to very strong winds....batten down the hatches , and get stocked up FAST !!! lol.

cheers

Since Christmas Eve I have only managed to get my car out for 5 days and that was last week, now we are back to deep snow, frozen buckets and field troughs so very fed up. Still have not been to our friends for Christmas Dinner. She did joke that it could be Easter and at this rate she may be right.
