Default Sun and snow!

Yesterday I was going to tell you how the torts raced to go through the door to go outside for the first time. It was so sunny and they headed straight to the warm area and spent time under the plastic roofing. Bertie decided he was staying out last night and found a great sheltered spot. However, with the predicted temperatures I took him back to his indoor house.

Now today - currently it is snowing heavily. Very chilly with the wind chill factor. I need to get my thermals out again!

What crazy weather.

Sleet and snow here but the clouds are looking full of heavier snow to fall this evening and through the night.
I have behaved and not whipped myself up into a storm this time to create so many blizzards, so with no Storm Emma in play I think it'll all be back to normal again by Tuesday and we can look forward to spring arriving in full swing. I reckon if March has a sting in its tail, and a snowy sting at that - we're in for a good summer. Well, positive thoughts and all that!!

I like your thinking, let's hope for a decent summer, you never know it might happen ! I've been in Lincolnshire this weekend and it was blowing an absolute freezing hooly across the field behind us and quite literally the blizzards (which kept on all day) were horizontal. We should have come home on Sunday, but had to delay until today.

Brrr! Sounds very chilly, Suze. Bet you didn’t get to see any hares in the field this visit then.

Hopefully things will start to warm up now. I managed to walk Chester without my gloves on today, so things must be improving, despite the half-melted snowman everywhere!
Someone mentioned a white Easter!! I hope not.....

Have woken up to a good covering of snow which is strange as when everyone else had it so bad the other week we hardly had any! It can go away as soon as it comes as far as I'm concerned!
