Re: Ffffreezing Friday!


Hi all. Luckily the snow didn't amount to much; when I went to bed at midnight it was snowing heavily, but must have tapered off overnight as we ended up with just over an inch. And when I got up discovered my nice neighbor had shoveled my walk! But still cold -5 (23 F) and wind chill -12! No sun either; I'm sick of this weather, although i's been no where as awful as yours. This is the coldest Winter here since the mid 70s, and more Arctic air here for the weekend,

Janey, sorry you've been poorly, nice to see you back. Alex, oh poor Robert!! Hope OH finally gets the car out, Yola. MrsH, I like that biscuit suggestion!! Angie, that's awful about the missed grocery delivery; we do depend so on them ... Elaine, hope all goes well at parrotland; don't make snowmen!! Kazz, stay safe outside.

Pray for a thaw, stay safe and warm, all.

Re: Ffffreezing Friday!


Afternoon all, went to work today and popped to Tescos in the morning and got some supplies for us and elderly neighbours. Main road were ok but side roads were not too good.

Home now in the warmth and have no intentions going anywhere this weekend.

Keep warm everybody

Re: Ffffreezing Friday!


very snowy here in Preston, no new stuff but we have a lot left over. Our village is terrible to get out of by vehicle. Had to drive to work, it was scary, especialy when you can't stop at a junction, braked in plenty of time but the car just carried on.
angie have you made a snow dalek?

Re: Ffffreezing Friday!


Totally had enough of this weather, I'm starting to seriously worry about the outdoor animals. It was -15 here overnight and only got up to -6. The snow is over my wellies in places so it is hard work doing anything and takes ages. Mike went away yesterday morning to Holland and comes back tonight and I am exhausted. I had to do all the animals myself, which isn't usually a problem, but walking is slippy and you have to follow the paths in the snow, The wheel barrow won't push anywhere and you have to do the waters much more often because it is freezing so fast. I'm on my second glass of ginger wine because all the animals are settled for the night, just have to feed the indoor lot at bedtime. Or if Mike is home on time he can do it.

Re: Ffffreezing Friday!


I used to love the Daleks, for some reason i didn't find them scary as a child. I used to wish i could meet one
Watching as an adult i do find the cybermen scary though
