Morning Pamela and those to come.

Blizzards and gale force winds here. A lot of the school buses have been cancelled and there's been whiteouts on roads near here. Last I heard the Edinburgh bypass has been closed.
I have an appointment in town at 10.30, shall go to library, put some laundry on and try and get some sleep after the howling wind kept me awake last night.

Keep safe everyone.

Re: snowy thursday (again :( )


Morning Pamela and SM - sorry about your dreadful weather! Did you see on the News this morning that half USA is covered in snow. I hope our American friends are OK. It's a beautiful morning here and sort of makes me think of Spring, but our forecast for tomorrow and the weekend is gales and rain, so it's the calm before the storm. OH and I are out for our walk in a short while. We are going to Bosham Hoe this morning. Not been there before, so taking the camera.

Will be back around tea time to see how your all are - so be good and careful and stay safe and warm and dry if you possibly can.

I got in early from GP (thankfully because I forgot to bring something to read while I waited).

The news footage of the Midwest was horrible.

Its sunny here now and almost feels warm when the wind isn't lashing. I think I shall crawl under my duvet for a while and defrost my tootsies.

Re: snowy thursday (again :( )


I feel really guilty here given the horrible weather elsewhere in UK and USA (thankfully Queenslanders escaped with less damage than expected) but I'm enjoying a beautiful sunny day with clear blue skies! The downside is that it shows up the mucky windows

We have double-width glazed doors between the hall and the front door so today I decided to tackle them. They each have 15 small panes of glass in them so doing both sides = 60 surfaces and 240 corners so I really have to steel myself before starting! Easy-peasy today for the first time I used Nilglass (which I've only seen in Lakeland) what a good product, it actually is streak-free which lots of products promise but don't live up to. I might tackle the glass doors between the dining room and sitting room this afternoon, they only have 10 panes each!

Re: snowy thursday (again :( )


Hi all, yes the Groundhog Day Blizzard was horrible! Huge, lots of damage; we lucked out here, just rain. Sunny, cold and blustery today (26 F), minus 4, minus 11 wind chill. Very tired, had a poor sleep last night. Some sort of stomach bug, kept feeling nauseous but every time I dashed to the bathroom didn't throw up ..... will try a nap this afternoon. So am really doing nothing at all today.

Ooh MrsH that's a LOT of teeny panes! Angie, enjoy the walk. Be good, all, stay warm!

Re: snowy thursday (again :( )


Hello all...

Yeah, we had the same nasty mix of weather Pamela - except that the worst the roads had on getting up was some slush... could have been far worse. Mind, I was hearing that the end of Feb is supposed to be worse here than what we've had so far... Here's hoping that prediction is completely incorrect!!!

Still blowing a gale and chucking it down out though. Not a night to be out on!

Glad you didn't get it as bad as it could be Eileen, thats a LOT of cleaning Mrs H, glad the GP trip didn't take as long as it could SM, hope work went ok Pamela, and that you had a good time out Angie!

Everyone else - hope your days went as well as they could do!!!
