Sheffield.

It's thawing, hoorah!!

Hi ~~

A humble +4 in Ebbw Vale, S Wales.

The snow is still lying about tho, and the compacted snow on the footpaths is treacherous , it's like a skating rink.

take care folks

Sandie..11.24am

Northumberland - washing machine defrosted at last! Still a lot of snow lying.

West Berkshire
8:30 overcast and grey
Hubby left for work at 5:00 and shouted up that it was warmer then it has been.

Have a good day

Off out again today, hopefully going to Windsor with friends

Linda :o) XxXX

Had a lovely afternoon in Winchester Hampshire. Cold but dry and not windy so felt OK. Temperature reached a heady 5C.
Back in Berkshire hovering around 0C
Saw plenty of snow still lying on the ploughed fields, actually looked pretty.Lots more than we'd had at home obviously.
Beautiful sunset too

Linda :o) XxX

The sun has been lovely to look at today, but very cold. It is now -0.0 outside my window. 7.43pm

Our frost has at last gone, melted by the sun that has been shining today. But it is still very cold.

12.10 pm, West Dunbartonshire ,not quite as cold only -7 today, schools reopened Gritter has finally arrived so heres hoping that will help. the sky is very overcast so maybe more snow before the day is out .Taking a chance to get out for some shopping before things deteriorate .

West Berks ...other side to Linda !!!

We had a heavy frost overnight and the cars took ages to scrape ..
Temp is 0 and below sometimes its down to -4 thats in the day
at night its down to -7 and -10 but we do live in country areas and the shortage of houses makes it colder ....

No snow rain or anything that comes out the sky ..!!!

Good evening or godnight from a cold Berkshire 11:10pm
Just back from my daughters in Reading the temperature was dropping as we got closer to home
Outside it is -2C

Clear skies quite starry

Supposed to be warmer tomorrow

Weather still below freezing in Sheffield,it is now getting beyond a joke,no gritting or clearing on side roads,for what do we pay our council taxes?

I do put out cat food,both wet and dry,but even that freezes. Perhaps if we all fed the foxes they wouldn't raid chicken coops.
Having said that,mine are urban foxes,more used to scrounging peoples takeaway litter.

I realise how galling it is when we have livestock killed,but you must remember that it is our fault for having an unnatural concentration of tempting food. After all,the foxes don't do it to spite you,what did you have for dinner,fluffy cow or sheep? Or an undeveloped chicken on toast?

Oh Pat.:((

That's horrible !

We normally get it bad and have grown used to it, but at least our main roads are cleared, side roads different matter!!

Take care ...don't go out walking without spikes on your shoes !! and don't venture out in the car also !!

Sandie.x

5.30pm West Dunbartonshire:-12 and dropping,hard packed ice on roads ,no pavements cleared ,motorways closed as are schools and colleges ,advice from Scottish Executive "dont go out unless an absolute necessity " Freezing fog just descending to add to the chaos .

Sorry Ann...

I hadn't read back and I missed your post.

You come up to the Garden Festival site shopping outlet then:)..?

There are some nice shops there, got M&S now, I don't go there that often,
I go to Asda ..son works on George( still has his seasonal job he had whilst in Uni) and they have some smashing clothing there, and I get 10% off all my purchases:)))

I think the Abergavenny meet will be in the spring, Jude has put up a thread about it , no date arranged yet.

Take care.x

Freezing, icy pavements, but beautiful blue skies in Ebbw Vale. Was minus 10 at 9am.

Driving is OK but walking is treacherous !

Jean, I hope the mini meet at Aber becomes something bigger, I can't wait.lol
But as I used to tell the children..'you just have too' lol

1.25pm

*th dec, 09.39 hrs Still freezing here, temp -3.4. Birds have only now got about the garden.
The mini meet in Abergavenny has not got a decided date yet, but Jude is thinking Spring, depending on weather. From the number who have asked, it may not be that mini a meet either! Should be great.

Still very hard frost here and keep getting light flurries of snow. Sun forecast for this afternoon. Hope the roads clear at least as we have to get to Milton Keynes at the end of the week.

hi - still plenty of snow here - too powdery to even make a snowball!!

Roads are treacherous and approx 700 schools closed. More snow forecast for later... ... ...

Ails x

Morning
West Berkshire 9:00

No snow
Little frost
Forecast for warmer tomorrow

Have a good day everyone stay warm and stay safe

Hi Sandie - not from Aber - Whitchurch, Cardiff me, but my husband and I absolutely loved going to Aber and did consider moving up that way at one time but good job we didn't really as sadly he died long before his time and I would have been a bit stranded

Not heard of this mini meet - when is it please?

Do Ebbw Vale occasionally for the designer outlet!!

weather - still freezing, everything white, pretty but lethal!
