According to weather report on the radio this morning the wash & fens are in for it quite bad tonight, so get out there this morning & get everything done, we may be snowed in tonight. The only good thing is I may actually get a day off work then tomorrow

Im in Lincoln too and it's really atmospheric here, one minute it is bright glorious sunshine, the next it goes very dark and we have a flurry of snow. The horses are all looking a bit bewildered by it!
 
we just had about 30 seconds of snowy hail. i got (very) excited... then it stopped. have kept my horses in today. as the wind is soooooo cold. i'd LOVE to have snow... only problem is my hubby has to commute to/from ely along those horrible roads. and sadly he doesn't get the day off, even if snowed in. he'd be expected to walk...

p.s. nijinksy, i did get your PM, just waiting to work out what we're doing (i'm trying to convince OH to move house

).... so will get back to you...

I really hope it misses us, am going to take the Discovery down and fill up with petrol in case, rather than run on fumes.

The wind is bad enough today.
 
we had about 2mins of snow here first thing but got nice sunshine now, the local news weather is forecasting alot but i think its just to cover their own backs, checked met check forecast and looks like we will hardly get anything here!!!
 
No worries CCP. I actually passed your house on Tuesday, I was to-ing & fro-ing Claire's collecting a load of bedding in my little car, I never even knew that house was there, made a point of looking on the way back & I think I saw you at your lorry (or someone) at your lorry.

OMG - where are you thinking of moving to. You haven't been there very long have you?

my husband won't even entertain the idea of moving until after the summer, he says i have to try a year here (fair enough really as i'm the one that forced us all to move and uproot ourselves). so will probably end up staying here, as i think i'm just having winter (mud) blues, combined with being hours away from my friends, and having small children... yuck. once summer is here, and we've had a few BBQs and i can leave the house without drowning in mud... i'm sure i'll love it.
at least the mouse/rat/mushroom/spider problems are being sorted. caught another mouse (total of 14 now) under my bed last night. *shudder*

it probably was me by the lorry. or a local lorry thief checking it out...

you should have popped in to say hello.

right, better go and attack the washing as two small people are sleeping. yay!

COME ON SNOW!!!

You'll be fine in the summer, know more people, be more settled, glorious weather, no mud, took me a while to settle in too.

We'll have to have some more HHO meet ups.

Stop calling for the snow. I don't want to be stranded on my way home from work. It can snow once I get home

Where are you Clipcloppop? We moved to Lincs about 10 years ago and at first I hated it. The house was full of mice (I have a mouse/rat phobia) and the winters were soo long and soo wet. But it has grown on me and I love it here now, I love the space and the huge open landscapes. The Man From The Council dealt with the mice and , touch wood, they haven;t been back in the house since. Plenty of them, and rats, in the fields outside but I can cope with that if my home is safe >g< Not long 'til Christmas and after that the days start to get longer and things improve. Honest.
 
i'm near Gedney/Long Sutton.

we live in a thatched house, so the mice (*shudder*) live in the roof. our bedroom is right in the eaves, so mice are literally inches away from my head as i sleep... we had rats outside, so rescued 3 feral cats... the next day there was a rat in my bedroom... so i presume it didn't want to live outside with the cats! however, we haven't seen it in the house since... so i'm hoping it's now caught/eaten by Fordson, Dexta and Major (the 3 hard as nails cats).

i'm sure i'll perk up massively when we get some hardstanding (going to order it today)...

come on snow! i want to make a snowman.... i mean... um,.. my kids want to make a snowman...

We have 4 dogs going beserk in the house chasing mice 24 hours a day; the mice moved in when it started to get cold as well as wet. The meeces manage to remove the bait from the traps without setting them off, and use the 'humane' one as a useful diversion from one part of the cupboard to another. We have had mice caught in traps that have been half-eaten, presumably by another as the dogs were unable to access that room. Ugh.

Anyone else got carnivorous mice?

I've bought some Eradibait which the rats outside, and the mice inside, eat with complete gusto and obvious relish. Presumably they haven't dehydrated to death because there is so much freely available water; but why haven't they exploded?

Not looking forward to snow UNLESS we have a very hard frost following a drying wind! Just think of all that extra mud!
