Funny Weather.

Strange how weather changes, for a week or so now I have looked out to see everywhere covered with frost and with a beautiful clear blue sky. To top it all the days have all been very sunny. We have not seen any snow at all. Has anyone had snow yet. cheers

No snow just freezing cold, plenty of frost on the grass and cars, have decided not to go out till it has all gone, I know it still January but am so looking forward to getting out in the garden so much to do there.

Already back to windows open and fan going though I haven't got the front door jammed open just yet!

Is it me, I can never understand the weather things but mine says 2o today, so I put on the TV and it says the same. It is very cold. Is it me or am I dreaming. cheers

We had a snow shower this morning in Norfolk, could not believe it, last week I cut the grass and was getting all excited about the garden, now it's freezing cold again forecast below freezing temperatures.
Crazy weather,

Very dark and cold still. No snow although TV folk keep saying we should have snow. Looking at the TV we have some very bad weather to come. Keep your woolies handy folk they will be needed. cheers

Can anyone on here remember the winter of 1947 in the UK ?It was the worst winter I have ever lived through.
What with still being on rations and NO central heating then plus powercuts for 8 hours a day.
Even potatoes were put on ration.

This was when it thawed. Thousands of animals frozen to death.

Terrible time, hope it never happens again.

Although it is very cold here, we have had a lovely day. Gardener been for a couple of hours. The blue sky is now getting patchy. Hope we get the same tomorrow. cheers

It has been a lovely day here too Penny.

In 1946 my dad took me to Bermuda for 3 years! Now I know why!

Cold here, I remember the winter of 1962/3 about that time, I had 2 babies and a Silver Cross pram, not easy in the snow.

I had just arrived in London then Widget. I watched my Kiwi flatmate from our upstairs window as he went to work. When nearly at the pavement he fell over on the ice and slid along out to where people were walking. A tall gentleman in a bowler hat and carrying a brief case stepped carefully over Tony and proceeded on his way.

Cannot believe had such a lovely day yesterday and awoke ready for cleaner only to find it is snowing and message from cleaner say she would have to come tomorrow because of this weather. The sky is very dull but snow falling seems very light. Looking out, my poor birds sitting on their nests, I know folk say they are used to it but it doesn't make it any easier to watch them. Can't be any eggs yet but poor things sitting on the branches must be freezing. Please stay warm folk. cheers
