What's your weather like? (2)

happy new year!!!! 02

 

That's a nice view David. We ought to have a thread "the view from my window, back or front "

It's a clear start to the day here in Norfolk, looks cold but I need to venture into the back garden to replenish the bird feeding station etc.

 

morning all we have had snow for the past 3 weeks and to get moor to day

 

I just love this cold sunny weather...........so much better than dull and rainy....................Not a good time for bricklayers though .

 

We have less than an inch of snow now - but supposedly more by the end of the week (kids'll be happy with that!). We live in a valley - two roads in and out - one is quite steep and is very slippery this morning but manageable. The other, well, there is a burst water main at the top of the hill, and this has created quite thick ice overnight on the road making it undrivable - even four weel drives are not attempting it anymore. It flows down the hill, round the corner, and right into our driveway (as when they repaved the road, they repaved higher than it was originally, and is now higher than our paved driveway......) causing a lovely little ice rink at the end of the driveway and road entrance......but nothing grit can't handle

 

Thought it best to leave work because of the heavy snow fall. Left at 11.00 and only just got home.1pm...A journey of 6 miles:dh:
As you can see..the kiddies Mrs Pal looks after have had a great time

 

I bet Mrs. Pal had fun out there too!

Very picturesque but don't like the sound of your journey home.

 

Brrrr ... pleased you got home safely, Pal. From the news I hear it's going to be a bit of a nightmare there this coming week. Now that our storms are going away, we shall be dropping from 14-16c day to 8-10c and 8-10c at night to near freezing, but at least it only lasts for a few days here.

I see your squiggly bay? is still alive and healthy ... :gnthb:

Keep warm everyone and keep off those icy roads ...

 

HEATWAVE?

 

Looking pretty much the same here John.....Never even tried to get the van out.
Son in Law was stranded on the Cirencester bypass for several hours last night but thankfully is safe and warm at home now

 

Snow started here about 7pm. But 9.30pm we had a winter wonderland. OH and I went out for a walk in it (I love the crunching sound your feet make and the silence that snow brings). It was lovely - kids out playing in the snow, whole families having fun building snowmen, other people marvelling at the scene...and silly drivers going way too fast and skidding about all over the place.

This morning we have 4 inches of snow and it's still coming down. Work is out of the question as I doubt I'll get the car out of the driveway (forget the motorbike!!). A walk in the woods later seems to be called for...and a restorative pint afterwards perhaps

 

Any tips on planting in permafrost?
