[Nicos]

Is it too early to say morning Flo'nall n'all n'all?

Woke up about 10 mins ago ...now just waiting for the hayfever tablet to kick in!
Flipping nozzle ...must remember to close the air vent at night....seems like that's the cause!

Just checked and it's 0C at the moment with a 50% chance of snow at lunchtime for about an hour...exciting!
* starts wondering where my old gloves are incase we have enough to make a snowman!

We've got 2 owls twit- ttwooing outside at the moment...chatting each other up perhaps?
Lovely to hear.

Cuppa tea anyone?

Morning All and Happy Friday Saw your post earlier Nicos, but we were busy defrosting the car! It's not as bad as was forecast, well, not at the moment. I have a cold coming on so don't feel too good. I have a half day today and I'm off on Monday, so plenty of time to get over it. Three Hibous then Nic? Have a good day

Morning all'n'all from a rather nippy & snow dusted Nestland. Stay warm & dry & enjoy your Friday.

Morning all...coldest morning of the winter so far I think. No snow but a really hard frost. Love it! Had a good nights sleep last night so watch out world I'm ready to go!
Have a lovely day everyone!

[Bren In Pots]

Morning its our coldest day here GH temp was a low of -0.7c and its still that now no snow that thats good.

Happy Friday!!
First snow of ter year here but its just on the roofs and a sprinkle on the grass. The hills behind the house are white, turning pink as the sun is rising. Very pretty but, having seen snow, I don't want to see any more this year.
The Tree men have just arrived so snow hasn't stopped them - and the dogs are going bonkers trying to "scare" them off. Could be an entertaining day!
Have a good day! Stay warm

Morning all, work again for me, not that I mind.
Just mentioned to hubby that we will be visiting the GC on Sunday to buy seed spuds
Can't remember whether he answered or not. Doesn't matter, it's happening.
Will have to get the porch ready. Mind you, it's flippin cold out there.
Anyone know the minimum temp for chitting potatoes?
Have a great Friday folks

[Nicos]

NS...seed potatoes are stored long term between 2-4C

Once the temperature rises above that they will start to chit, obviously the lower the temp, the slower the chitting and the lengths of the chits.

The chits need to be kept frost free or they blacken and die.
Water starts to freeze at 4C...so my thoughts would be anything of 5C and above is good for slow chitting?

Not sure...but that's my gut feeling.

Morning all..............It's FRIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

We had snow too VC, similar to what you describe, so we shall see if more arrives...

I am an all or nothing person when it comes to snow...either give us 4 or 5 inches or bugger off.....

enjoy the day...

[bramble]

Good morning all. No snow here but a brilliant sunny morning with a white dparkly frost on everything. Looking like a picture postcard but so very cold.
Have a good day all.

[cariann88]

Morning,

No snow for us, just frost. It's so cold, I'm glad I only worked this morning. I'm now off until Monday.
I aint moving from my house. I am refusing to go out in the cold, bad enough I have to when working ha.

Have a good day

[Hazel at the Hill]

Yep, Harper-Adams on 7th or if you wanna got to SOG's on the 6th drop your car at my place & I'll drive the Shrewsbury leg

I'm running on the Sat so it'll be Harper Adams on the Sunday. Busy later so I'll have to be there at the start for a quick rummage!

Anyone else want to come along? It's by Telford. Quite a sizeable event, and I thought it was well organised last year - they even do free tea and coffee!

[veggiechicken]

I'm enjoying my morning! Staying indoors in the warm watching 3 men clambering and swinging from trees. Its like being in the jungle
They're lifting the crown on an oak tree that overhangs the chicken run and has some dead branches low down that fall off regularly. Another chap is taking down an old apple tree that hasn't fruited for years and is leaning.in the wrong direction.
Watch this space!!

[Aberdeenplotter]

cold out this morning. Drove her ladyship to work. Snow forecast so I feel better if I provide a taxi service.

Engine management light on car came on this morning though. Car was hottering when started and when I plugged my cheapie diagnostic hoogie in later, it came up with a code 300 fault. Multiple misfire. I could have told it that !! ANyway, I was ableto clear the fault code so hopefully it won't recur.

Tried to buy some brake disk pads when out. There was a page of options. I'mgoing to have to take the old pads out and take them to the auto shop to identify what ones are needed. Did I say there is a page of options? How can I take them out and still get there

Anyway, hoped to get back to gutter painting but it's raining
