    Hi Shotski, I lost a load of spawn 2-3 years ago, when my wildlife pond froze over, but they were on the top, the eggs underneath were ok, so I hope you don't loose too many. The eggs I lost went white but the ones underneath stayed dark, however, when the tadpoles hatched they fed on the dead ones. 

    At the moment I've got plenty of frogs but they are all loved up as yet with no little ones being layed.

     

    cheers Colboy

    get any snow grains and sleet:rofl:

    No, but plenty of snow and freezing temperatures on a night. The pavements were frozen over and any flattened snow turned to ice. The icicles were fantastic, mainly from the buildings and the Windows had ice on the inside, no central heating or double glazing in those days. I went to school in Toolley street in London and we used to slide down the street to school. We had ice slides in the playground for quite a few weeks. If people would like those temperatures now it would paralize the country, considering the amount of traffic now compared to those days. In the road I lived in in London S E 12 even the horse drawn milk float stopped deliveries as the horse could not get traction up a small hill. I hope we never see it that bad again.

    Hi, I don't post much on this forum but have been a member for a few years, but, I feel that as it looks as if we are in for extreme weather conditions, I thought it might be an idea to advise people of what they can do to prevent freeze ups to their domestic water supplies by making sure all water pipes are lagged, turning off outside water pipes and draining down. It used to be the done thing to put a matchbox underneath the loft hatch so that some warmth could get into the loft.There must be other folks reading this forum who can offer advice regarding looking after your homes. And don't forget the wildlife, and elderly friends and neighbours.

    I am lucky enough to remember 1962/3 winter, was great to start with but after a week or two of freezing conditions we were fed up with it, even the horse drawn milk float couldn't get up our road. 

    Cheers

    I don't normally comment on this forum, but what a great site for discussing the weather. 

    I have been watching the global winds  on.    earth.nullschool.net  and it seems that the southwesterlys that we have been having are gradually being pushed further east by the northwesterlys. Scotland and the north look as if they will get a bit of a battering in the near future, but at least temperatures look like dropping in a few days time.

    am I on the right tracks or completely wrong on the above. 

    Thanks
