Think the country needs a bit more colder weather  after so many mild winters.

I am a landscape Gardener and for the past 2 years in January we have been decorating.
The reason????? Because there has beed a big freeze ;) ;)
So it is no surprise to me that we are going to have a Cold spell very soon :) :) :)
2 years ago it was snow and ice now as we were having snow ball fights 2 days after Xmas when I was ill LOL
Not quite sure about the -12 degrees!!!! Is this the same 'expert' that said it would be a long very very hot dry summer ;) ;)
Although I do agree that we NEED a Proper cold spell. About 7 years ago we had a winter where the ground was frozen several inches down, but thats the last time. Since then It has only frozen an inch and then only for a few days!!! We need a cold snap to kill all the bugs like Red Spider might, ghreen Fly, black flys, Wasps etc that are all able to live through the winter when they shouldnt normally!!!

We haven't had snow this time of year in about 20 years.  :-)   I have been going about in a t-shirt all week :-)  Sunny Scotland. ;-)

We usually get snow last week in feb, then only for a day or so.

I saw kids down on the beach today with no tops on!

We were in Anglesey over christmas and on Boxing day people were surfing and sea kayaking in force 8/9 storms! mad as hatters the lot of them .....

We had snow on Xmas day 3 years ago!! That was in Lancashire, and the first time I remember there being snow at Xmas!

Was quite frozen where I was in Scotland over Xmas for 2 or 3 days before it went mild again.

I've not been warm & I'm not far from Blue, my legs are covered in chilblains and they are itching like mad.  Roll on summer.

Its been raining solid here for 2 weeks.. but.. for 2 weeks around the 16th December we were sitting at -8 and went down to -10 on 16th & 17th...

We are forecast snow tomorrow but then going mild again on Friday :)

I'm in Lincs and spring cleaning my kitchen as off work till Monday!  Back door open too and dogs outside, it's lovely here, sunny and mild.

Are we in the same county!! Absolutely freezing here yesterday and today. The easterly wind off the North Sea has just about knocked me and the dogs off our feet and we are in thick cloud. No sun here.

Ive got chilblains too, blasted things!

I'm near Blue and I've never been so cold as I have recently!!!

Well went out for a run in bare arms this morning. Was lovely!!!
Then had to go down to doctors this afternoon and even though we were walking very very fast down there, we were all freezing!!!
The wond has changed and there is a deffinate cold wind :( :(
Lea :)

It is a bit colder now but have been to the local shop to get some fruit and yogurts and all the bread and milk had been sold out due to the possibility of snow tomorrow :rolleyes::rolleyes: Idiots :rolleyes:

well if it snows here we have not much milk and not much food so i be eating the dog food. It is freezing here and the gales. dogs refuse point blank to go out further than the driveway.:rolleyes:

Cooler here tonight.  Was quite warm this morning, though we never see snow here really, can't see us seeing much over the next few days myself.

i not care as i be wrap up warm in hosptail having my knee op in the morning.

Good Luck for your op!

It's cold here.  It was quite mild early afternoon, then the wind started to pick up...it's howling now. 

IT'S SNOWING and quite HEAVY in FIFE :-))

Well it ISN'T in Lincolnshire BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo

:p :p

Not in Bournemouth either snow makes me very homesick 

I have just been out doing the joyous task of poo picking from my toliet run in the snow before it gets any deeper :-)  hat and scarf on as it is coldy coldy :-)

aw! we've just sleet in dundee :(

I'm just back from a walk with the dogs in HAIL! Brrrrrrr....... The hills in Angus are turning white, so is my garden, but it ain't snow

I will blow some your way :-)

snowing big time here now, yay! but the grounds wet so doubt it will lie. looks like its heading your way then lindy loo, its come to us from fife so may pass up to angus

I was blowing really hard :-D :-D

Gosh, I read that link and it says extreme cold of -12C is expected.  It was -25.4C here this morning, Ontario, Canada.  I feel sorry for poor little puppy boy having to do his business outside while the rest of us enjoy the comforts of the warm house, even the cats.  Poor little fellow, when he comes in he has peesicles.

That is when the weather is great so low. No horrible rain or dampness :-) I wished we could get it here at lest we could get snow tyres or chains :-)

I was out tonight for 15 mins with my estate car and it nearly did a 360 degree turn.. ( we nearly 90 degree but you get my drift ;-) )

blizzards in Angus today and sent home from work early - yeeha! Alternating snow and rain in the north of Dundee.  Doing a wee snow dance to pray to the snow gods to be able to work from home tomorrow.
