Blizzard hits the Clyde

[starboard]

Just to make the South coast fraternity happy the snow coming down here on the Clyde wholesale!!! A good few roads further north blocked by snow....and here is me thinking of popping down to take the winter covers off!!! ah well back to the house building for today........the good news is the sun is not too far away looking at the weather radar.

Have you put on the geenhouse heater to keep your fenders warm?

8 on the boat at the moment, 4 per side,still 5 lurking under the potting bench, keep tripping over the dam things, 3 large polyform jobs hanging from the workshop rafters.

[Alistairr]

Where??? Not Where we are it ain't!!!

 

[Sgeir]

Not yet here

- still beautiful and sunny in Stirling, 5/6 at a guess

 

[Gordonmc]

Sunny in Ayr, though there was a snow shower an hour ago. Didn't amount to much.
Work colleague in Aberdeen is worried he'll not get home tonight... the lane to his gaff is regularly snowed up.

Paul,

You do like taking the pi$$ out of the Sassenachs, don't you? shame on you /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

OK so Arran is mostly covered with snow and we did have a wee flurry of snow this morning but snowing wholesale? I can SEE Arran and I'm about 30 miles away at the moment. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

It's minus 1deg C at Aberdeen airport at the moment. 24kts, gusting 36

Snow showers about when the vis comes down to about 1000mtrs.


But apart from that, it's a nice day. In fact, any Friday is a nice day ! !

Aye, all I need now is the boat ! !

Its still sunny in Southampton, but its getting murra dark to the north. At least I remembered to wrap the banana tree back up in its fleece last night.

 

[jimboaw]

Banana "tree"? You're the gardener but is the banana a proper a tree.? As this is a weather thread I suppose I should add that it's 76f and raining here and our bananas look great!

 

[Lakesailor]

Nah, Naples is in Italy.

 

[Das_Boot]

blizzards arrived middlesbrough on its way south

 

[Evadne]

Wot d\'you think this is, Gardeners\' question time?

If I wanted technical correctness I would have posted on R2R or the classic forum. As far as any Yotti is concerned, if it grows in the ground and has something resembling a trunk, with leaves in the summer, that makes it a tree.
And even if it were to fruit I don't think British bananas would be edible.

Its still getting darker and it still hasn't started snowing. Maybe I should put off varnishing for this weekend. ( latest )

I've got a b ig one sitting at Regent Quay right now if you want to borrow it, but it's a stinkie however.

Honest guv the snow was coming down holesale here at 1030.....could'nt even see Dundonald hill from my gaff..... glad to say though that as the day went on the sun shone......maybe the winter covers will come off next week....off home to Lancashire 4 weekend.

[Rowana]

Is that one of these big ones with all the high bits at the pointy end, and a big flat parking space on the back??

Might be just a tad big for my needs, but I'd love to have a go driving one just for the fun ! !

 

[Bejasus]

Almost but not quite, we are full of equipment on 2 decks above the main deck from back to front with 2 big flexi hose reels on the back.
