Allotments 4 All

We got our 1st snow fall during the night not that much but they have forcast it for the day as long as it lets me get home @ 4  i will be happier

I've been snowed in..cannot get car out anymore..and council do not clear little side roads on our area. What a shame..work is truly off ::) ;D ;D

I woke up with 1/2 inch this morning ,  ;)  anyway back to the snow, just a light dusting overnight with a few 20 min blizzards during the day, its still  trying hard now but not settling, I was on snow plough duties at work in the car park this morning.    ;)       ;D ;D ;D

;D  ;D at Kev's half an inch!

We have had five days of it so far so its getting quite deep in parts, had to clean 3 or 4 inches off the pollytunnel every day apart from this morning. We were suposed to get quite heavy downfall last night but got rain instaed, What a pleasent change that was and still got a couple of feet of it.
Hail, rain snow, thunder and lightning, we have had the lot, still not to worry we have the worst to come when it gets to winter.

Oi!      I heard that.     :-[ :-[ :-[       ;)

There is a saying in this part of the world  that goes:-
"If the ice in November will hold a duck, then the rest of the winter will be slush & muck"
It'll be interesting to see how true it turns out.

I have never heard that before...........you'll think I'm being thick, but, does that mean it'll be a bad winter?  Whats with the 'duck' bit?

No Tony it means wet & mucky (warm)

Booooo, there's no more snow for us!  Very light sprinklings yesterday and overnight but it's almost all gone now.  I'm sure everybody will be more than aware of it in our area when I go A over T on the ice that's formed! ;D ::)

The Forth Road Bridge is closed, the airport is closed and my car has a 50cm snow blanket.

especially when he's got 5 bags of salt lined up for it - painful  :o  ;D

anyway we've had 2 days of it now and can brag 12 inches  ;D

I blame it on the cold weather.   :-[ :-[ :-[
