Just When You Think It's Safe Out There......

I'd heard this. I do hope they have it wrong dare I say as usual?
Will you have much t protect?
Hope you have let spritz know so she can get the fleece out again.

Snow is likely in many parts of the UK next week... :o(

Oh dear not again, what a pain, hope it does not mean us in the South, will have to cover up so many plants, flipping weather!!!

Tt and Seaburn, i'd not heard this at all and it's a big shock !!!
No, i won't have much to protect but, after all this warm weather it's going to do a lot of damage to all the masses of new growth on everything :-(((

From the TV forecast I saw, the northwest of England is in line for snow, with possibilities of the snow spreading further east and south...:o(

Oh no, i am SO fed up with wintry weather, i've settled into this mild weather nicely :-/
Ho hum.

Try this link and then click on the days Mon,Tue, Weds...

How depressing...really thought we had turned a corner....only hope it doesnt do too much damage to the new growth as you say Louise.Our garden is really springing to life now.....

You had better be wrong ... we're going to South Devon for 5 days next week ... no hope of my daughter covering anything up in the garden !
What shall I pack ... heavy Winter coat ... sturdy boots ... spade to shovel ourselves out ?

Crazy isn't it, Megan :-(

Just checked Met office web Megan.....only supposed to last one day...Tuesday !

Wednesday too here .... 'heavy' they say :-(
With any luck it'll melt quick smart !!!

Just had a thought too .... the birds here are eating far more than usual .... do you think they can sense cold spells ?
Are they preparing for it ???

Hope so Louise. Sure the birds are attuned to forthcoming weather....our flock of starlings had disappeared for a few days ,but were back today.As you say...eating more.Many of our visitors have started building nests too......but at least have not yet got young to feed.

Bb ... 1 day I can cope with if it dares to s..w ... but not all 5 ! : o (

Louise reckons 2 days..but hope you have a good break anyway Megan !

- my sympathies to you all.

i hope not ive all my new plants outside waiting to go in :o(( i will have to rush out and bring them all inside some how, i cant afford to lose them before i start

Bb ... thanks for your message ... the weather I hate the most is wet and windy ... it'll be a change of scenery and I shan't be cooking ... hooray ! lol :o ) )

Sandra...would play it safe and delay planting for about a week..looking very unsettled at the moment...
Megan..no cooking sounds good ! Enjoy ! : o)

shall i take them all inside ray, they are all in pots sat on my decking

and heres me going to plant out some veggies tomorrow i will leave it for now..

I bought some plants today, not yet planted...
and I'm going to move them somewhere safe tomorrow, and protect them as much as possible from the coming week of bad weather..

think your right Terra im going to do the same here :o(

Oooh, no ...I took a look....snow !!!! :o(

Agree with TT Sandra...just get them inside !

will do ray while in garden tomoz,,

Heron : I have no idea how to view this http etc. photo ! Help ? : o )

Hi Sandra..
Try copying and pasting it into Google but without the [IMG] at the start, and without the [/IMG] at the end... :o)

megan copy and paste it into your web box, can you do that

I've put it in my gallery. the reason I posted it is the date 04 04 2008

02 04 83 was Easter Saturday and it snowed. A proper white wedding!!!

1.6.76 it snowed too and that was that very hot summer.

The Summer of '76 was the year I met my husband-to-be ... remember it well ... that was an amazingly long, hot Summer ! : o )

Sandra, I got side tracked by putting the clocks forward on the oven, phones, microwave etc., then the actual clocks and my watch !
Took me a while to locate Herons pic. got there in the end, many thanks.
Tt. thankyou as well ... have learnt 2 new things today ! lol : o )

Well .......... !
GRRRR !

In the space of 12 hours the Met Office site has now changed its mind and says that there's just going to be 'sleet shower' and that'll be on Wednesday.

I DO wish these forecasts were a bit more consistent, it's irritating when there are such big changes in short spaces of time.

The forecast I heard for south wales is heavy rain, with some snow possible on high ground. Not ideal but not as bad as a blizzard :o)

I'm not looking at forecasts any more ... will just open the curtains each morning and it is what it is ! : o ) )

Megan, taking it day by day's the only way, isn't it ?
It's useless doing it any other way.

it is irrataing louise ive just put all plants back in growhouse to keep safe lol, will take a day at a time, if sunny out they come till night :o)

too true megan,open curtains and it is what it is,mind you the hills near me have just cleared and look nice.

Fingers crossed it dont come here.

Just when I have put all my new plants in and hardened off my seedlings, Will wait until tomorrow nad see what the forecast is then, if its bad news will just have to bring my seedlings in till it passes ;0(

hope its wrong..... just as all the plants are coming back to life..... will watch forcast this evening havnt seen it all weekend..........been nice here but just started to rain..

going by how many comments there are here-were all obsesed with the weather i keep watching the forcast (about every hour) in the hope its an early april fool ! was going to plant sweet peas today but am delaying it just incase..

I'm going back to bed - wake me in May !!! :-))

LOL :-)

Muddy a great idea.....I always wanted to be a Dormouse!!

Dottydormouse2 ? :o)

That's me, OH would agree with you on that one..lol
