Still no snow here in the Chilterns, we had one light dusting last week and nothing but dry and empty clouds since. Was selfishly hoping for one thick dump of snow this winter/spring. Strange that when rain is forecast we always get it but most snow forecasts are no show, no snow But the wildlife...and my desperate for fresh grass mares need it to warm up asap.....

[lottiekent]

Snowing again It never carries on for long enough to have any chance of sticking about though.

[CBo]

no electricity problems here but there again we did get a new cable install some yaers back that seemed to make us rock solid

Just a little update with the Chicks - 10 hatched out of 18 eggs, not a bad turn out, one batch of eggs was infertile but I guess that's a risk you take getting them off ebay with transport etc!

Aww, two of my bantams have decided to go broody today - too cold, I think, so I'll actively discourage them, though after a few days of having the eggs taken away they tend to go AWOL and come back three weeks later to show off their new family.

I do prefer it when you can sex them at hatching - do you just have the one sex-linked?

ETS sunny morning, black clouds all afternoon but stayed dry. Hit 5C late morning but oddments of snow still lying in the shade.

there may be some mist or fog on the coasts

very weak north east flow

if the cloud clears it will hit around 6 degrees and with no wind will feel ok

bad news i think this will be cloudy all day and mist persisting on the coasts

no wind so could turn icy

south of london

winds increasing again form the east

so feeling very cold again but less chance of frost

looks dry

monday

more of an easterly flow and more noticeable windchill

temps around 4-6

there is a slim chance of some showers being driven in again from the north sea

If you are struggling to understand JP, what he's really trying to say is that it will be Groundhog day

Hello from North Pembrokeshire! So far it's v. similar weather here to that back home but with some important differences: (a) it gets dark later; the biggest city is very small and so far away I can't even work out where and what it is (Cork possibly?) which means not only that I am probably lost but that there is no chance of the urban heat island effect; [c] when the sky is clear at night it is really properly clear so you can see Jupiter like it is the Moon (I may be exaggerating just a bit); (d) despite it having been freezing for ages the grass in the long and narrow garden has still managed to grow to a ridiculous degree since last here which means that I am again going to have to try and cut the grass, which at least gives me something to do over the next 9 days; (e) for once in West Wales it doesn't look like it is going to matter that the tumble dryer is broken - ordinarily this would be a matter of great concern.

Anyway, time to throw another sheep on the fire.

I've got a leg of one to roast in the oven on Sunday - but not one of these, look how clever they are to know the date....
