Laurel n Hardy Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 we had blizzard conditions a couple times here too, its -2 at the mo and the roads are finally cleared as the gritter drivers couldn't get to the depot to go out last night lots of lovely snow that is a little bit too deep for my Cliffy right now. My house is surprisingly warm considering I haven't had the heating on today. oh just glanced out the window just starting snowing again, tiny little flakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I text Steve afterwards as if I had said anything while the fella was on his bus...well who knows what he would do, he knows I can take care of myself but I really didn't like that man at all!! Zooplus are really good, I ordered something the wrong size and tried to return it, they told me to keep it and refunded the money...gave it to my mate who does rescue, thought that was lovely of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Suzeanna thinking positive thoughts for you Griff earthquake - what earthquake? I ordered something from Zooplus late yesterday afternoon and got an email last night to say it had been dispatched. I am sure the weather will hold it up but we'll see. We got lots of snow overnight and it is bitterly cold. I decided not to take Archie out but let him out in the back lane a few times. He LOVES being out there for some reason. Trotting back and forth whilst he finds interesting things to sniff is enough exercise for an almost 15yr old in this weather. My face was stinging with the cold and my nose was like a little block of ice after less than 10 minutes. We are going to brave it again shortly. Not looking forward to it.

eve Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Another huge fan of Zooplus and their customer service is superb. We've got snow but not too heavy. Biting cold wind though. Got the dogs out for their walks, shorter than usual but they didn't mind. Weather app says it's -2, feels like -10. It's spot on lol. We're all snuggled up on the sofa together now. Hope your scan results are positive Suzeanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Thanks for the good wishes again, hope they work! According to the forecast we weren't meant to get snow today. Ha! It's coming down heavily and shows no sign of stopping. Philip's coming home, they were all told if they wanted they could leave now. I filled up my bird feeders earlier and despite the falling snow there are loads of goldfinches on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I filled the bird table up this morning, the hanging bird seed feeder and put out extra suet pellets and mealworms in addition to the suet blocks and suet balls already out. The birds have never stopped coming to feed. I put some suet and mealworms under a wire basket under a bush so the little 'uns get something without the crows and pigeons taking it all.

owl Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 About 3 to 4 inches of snow here, roads very slippy, not going anywhere. No goldfinches at my feeders but lots of blackbirds, robins, tits, dunnocks. I have several small dishes of feed round patio and take them in every night, as well as various bigger feeders by house and under big leylandii at end of garden where they all roost. Stops them squabbling and stops blackbirds keeping the rest away. A good day for repotting some cacti, changing aquarium water. Wispa and I keep going into garden for a short time then getting back indoors pdq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 That should have read 50 for £4 lol Very wise owl to stay put... not worth risking it unless you really have to. Just had a little bit of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Griff I never felt a thing and was totally unaware that we'd had an earthquake. I've just ordered a replacement yard brush for the one I broke yesterday trying to brush the snow from the path. I have Amazon Prime but I don't think it'll arrive tomorrow if the roads are as truly bad as the media are making out. The snow here is melting now as the temperature has gone up a bit, although its still cold. The main roads are now all free of snow but some of the back roads are still covered and apparently pretty slick according to a neighbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Steve called me on his way back from work....on speaker, he was going along and saw a car run into the back of another....he wasn't involved so went on his way, he said he saw a white car driving off...anyway, he is chatting to me and he says, I am sure that car that got ran into his following me. I told him not to go home but pull over and he said a fella in his late 60's came over and asked could he look at the front of Steve's car, he said of course, it wasn't him who ran into the back of him. The chap was sooooooo apologetic for tooting his horn at Steve and he was saying it's a hire car that has to go back tomorrow.. Steve just said if I was you, I would quickly drive back as he was sure it was a white Yaris that hit him...how nasty, just to drive off B&m Jazz or wilko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
