Iced up Saturday!
Good Morning All
Snow turned to ice now and pavements lethal to walk on. The snow plough was up yesterday twice clearing the roads and sand/grit spread but they never do the pavements
A neighbour is getting me some messages later as I am terrified walking out on the iced up pavements - even walking on the grassed areas is dangerous!Hope you all enjoy your Saturday, whatever the weather!
Take care.

Good morning all. Beware Personal Messages speaking of huge sums of money someone wishes to "share" with you. There's a new member on the site, "just", that is doing just that. It's a scam. I've alerted Azz to this situation.Not much going on today. Our weather is holding as dry which is indicating an all time record as the driest month in our history. The previous record was .88 inches. We're at .06 inches this month with no rain in the forecast. Weird!
Have a great day all!

Hello all!We has a hard frost last night but it's a bright and sunny day here in the SW, a bit on the chilly side though
Caught up on all my chores for the day and this afternoon I'll make a start on icing two Christmas cakes.... one of them is for my daughter, in case you thought I was greedy!
Bob, thanks for the alert, it has been dealt with
Have a good day all!

Good afternoon all, the weather is much the same as yours Meg, looking out the window you would think it was Summer, but step outside and it's bitter cold. I think the missus has most of the Christmas stuff in hand and the two of us will slip out for a drink and a sing-song tonight in the local, meantime I'm busy watching the Ascot racing.Be careful folks.

Hi Brandykins, have you thought of getting some of those spiky things which slip over your shoes, they are great for walking on ice. I got some off Amazon last year after I kept falling over and eventually broke my wrist and thought enough is enough so got some.17-12-2011, 04:35 PM

I've got a pair of boots that have a spiky attachment on the heels. You just flip it down when it's icy, then flip it back up if you were going into a shop.

Re: Iced up Saturday!
Good evening Brandykins and all above. Sorry I missed this thread this morning
Weather on this side is cold, the snow has arrived, it might thaw a bit for Xmas but it's certain to come back in January and stay until March at least. Time to go into hibernation methinks

Hi everyone! Back to chilly; it's nearing 11 AM and only 2℃ (37℉), but a wind chill of minus 1℃. Heavy cloud cover, no snow in the forecast, thank God! All's quiet, just out for grass; lazy afternoon with paper and crossword, work a bit of needlepoint.I had a set of those spiky boot things, and just realized I forgot to bring them when I moved! D'oh!! I'm terrified of ice, won't go out if I can possibly avoid it; don't want a broken hip. Bob, that is unusual weather, you live in such a rainy area!
Stay safe and warm, preferably indoors!
