Poxy Weather

[LKSF]

-15 in Scotland last night apparently.
Getting some logs in just as it started:

Had a bit of a light dusting here this aft, nothing much as yet, but Thurs and Fri will be the days for it if the forecast is right.

Looks like you're out of the orange sausage LancsLad?

Beautiful day for a drive, apart from the low sun first thing. A bit nippy to be outside though, -6 mid A9 around Aviemore.

unusual for the south to be better than oop norf Gra ... still coming down well ... 's gonna be a lot of snow by the morning if it keeps up at this pace ... just took another 2+ inches off the poly tunnel ... looking even saggier than before

good old folded/lapped barrow body there .... still got one ... must've had it 45 years

 

[diggerjones]

yeh righto !!!
just took 2" off the polytunnel ... was looking decidedly 'saggy' ... table on the patio also has 2"+ on it in the last 3 hrs
Ordered 1000L Kero Monday - 75p/L ... hope he turns up today or it might not, if it keeps up like this .... drive'll get exciting with much more on it ... 's pretty dry stuff coming down

I think it's a family heirloom It was my Dads and has a fair bit of wear n tear, he wouldn't let it go so lined it with fibreglass
I've been shovelling out of it recently and it's started to tear and come away. Have you seen the price of barrows these days??!
