About 3 to 5 cm of snow here in Lincolnshire. Time for some hot chocolate...

It looks beautiful - thanks for sharing the photo.

Our dusting arrived late yesterday evening and, apart from one small corner of a lawn, was gone my mid morning. Not that I'm complaining!!

I hung some towels out tonight - if the foxes don't play with them I'm hoping the breeze will have dried them a little by mid afternoon tomorrow. ::)

Well its meant to get down to -5c tonight here and the local weather station said -9c at 8pm.. so It'll be chill tonight but the day was absolutely beautiful and I dug 4lb of carrots up and tucked more fleece over the rest ;D

Clear night -10C and counting...

-10 outside, here, at 8.30am. And only 3.3 inside, in the kitchen, BRRRRRRRRR! Then found the heating hadn't come on, overloaded some of the electricity circuit trying to heat ourselves, and the kettle, etc! But have just been out and fed the birds. About to eat big bowl of steaming porridge!

Just been outside ... birdbaths frozen solid which means it's well cold. Saw a gang of Fieldfare and redwings making light work of stripping a berry bearing tree in the front garden. And some brass monkeys looking for welders ....

-8 at 07.00 but a lovely sunny day now. Looks like next week is set to be virtually frost free!!
Fingers crossed!

-10 here as well. But nice blue skies this morning.

What happened to the lovely snowy pic of Lincolnshire?

-8 here in Harrow too. I went to feed and water the chickens and couldn't get into the allotment - the locks had frozen solid. Eventually managed to warm one up enough to work, by which time the chooks were becoming extremely indignant!

For the first time this winter, I reckon I'll need to go back at lunchtime with fresh water to replace the iced up drinker. No chance of the taps on site working.

Cold frosty morning here with the Sun out now, going to defrost the windowscreen and do the shopping. 8)

-13.5C on the remote thermometre. Must be wrong! Actually no! - a laboratory thermometre says -13.6C at 8 in the morning! The news just said that other locations were -16C.

This is the coldest for some years. Don't suppose my greenhouse winter veg will survive that or the stuff under cloches :( although the snow layer may just protect a bit. We'll see ...

Another year when the PSB perishes I guess. Hope the kales will survive. Our weather is definitely on the change, this is the third year with very cold winter temperatures.

It was lovely on the seafront this afternoon! My son took us off for a coffee and it turned into a very late lunch / early dinner in a seafront cafe.

It was a joy to be out and about after months of looking after my parents and the first time I've been to the seafront for ages!!

Cold? Yep but better described as bracing. Lots of other people out too.

I was on the seafront at Dunbar yesterday too and that was quite delightful.

Funny thing is that it has been much warmer here in Edinburgh and there has been virtually no snow!!

Waking up to +3 this morning. Beats yesterdays -8

jimtheworzel · « **Reply #3856 on:** February 12, 2012, 12:32:27 »

its an overcoat warmer to day than of late.....temp of 5.4c...and said to get better in the week ahead [ 7 or 8c ] is forecast for the north west of England.

Number Six · « **Reply #3857 on:** February 12, 2012, 14:23:30 »

And a positively balmy +4 here, but still had to use a sledge hammer to break up the ice on the garden pond (trying to save the frogs - lost a few under ice last year).

Pescador · « **Reply #3858 on:** February 12, 2012, 18:32:27 »

It's 6.30p.m. and still +5 degrees!!
Will have to call the air conditioning repair man if it carries on like this.
