Promises Of Spring!!!

isn,t nature great . my garden is still covered in the white stuff but hopefully soon!!!! JCB in street this am clearing road so at least car can move again lol

looking forward soo much to the thaw......
OMG Helen u must have had loads of snow.....

Sounds like u had it bad Helen :/ Im glad uv had a JCB in street to clear the road again :) I think we all r Sandra :)

Ours is thawing out been fine rain since yesterday, on snow now but frozen ice thats not thawed yet with water on it, very slippery. But like youup to 4 by friday, can't wait to see back of it.

I can now see some Lovely Grass Areas in My Lawn Clarice :) So nice to see a different colour from white :)

That makes two of us there are green grass and spring bulbs peeping through, still drizzling here, waiting for pond to thaw abit so i can go check on Flip, Flop, Ebb & Flo to see if they are alright, know they go down to bottom, put did'nt stop me worrying about them, if ok not taking no chances next year, going to get one of those large plastic boxes out of wilkos and bring them in porch, you watch i'll do that and we'll have mild winter.

Oh, that cheering Jacque......lets hope we've seen the last of the snow....all mucky and slushy here...:o(

I think outdoor fish r hardier than we think Clarice im sure yours will be fine :) I hate the Slushy part Janey :(

Thawing here too at last Jacque, slowly, hope its gone by Friday daughter has her driving test, already been cancelled once, poor kids got a car sitting in the garage waiting.
My small pond has been frozen solid Clarice, thawed a bit today and the fish were swimming around ice must have been a couple of inches thick, kept pouring warm water in but freezing as fast as I could pour it, they're fine though, tough little creatures.

I hope your snow does all go SimB & your Daughter passes her Test :) My own Daughter is booking her test weds on line:)

Nice to see those buds Jacque, its been snowing all morning here but because its warmer it is thawing as it falls so not actually getting deeper, danger will come later if it freezes again as we now have slush........

Hi Linc weve no frost forecast 4 Norfolk but then u never know 4 sure do u? :/

Lovely to see those little primroses, Jacque, so beautiful. Thawing here but still icy compacted pavements and side roads. Managed to clear my front path today in case my new fridge does get delivered on Wednesday :)

Thanx Gee i hope the weather improves so ul get your New Fridge Delivered :)

Oh it's so wonderful to see them growing Jacque. :o)) Spring is on the way.

I was almost skipping on way back 2 house Hywel cos id seen them :) lol

Think you are like us Gee no snow just ice and water on top, making it bad under foot still, Jacgue i know your right outside fish are hardier, perhaps iif they did'nt have names would'nt worry about them as much.

I can imagine you doing that lol. But it does give such a lift doesn't it. I can't describe it really. Just a wonderful feeling inside :o)

We can't see any grass yet Jacque , it's good news to hear it's going to be slightly warmer here , it's lovely to see your wild primroses peeping through ..... :o)

I know that feeling well Hywel :) Glad u enjoyed the Primerose pics Amy :)

nice to see them poking themselves through the snow jacque, ive a few to and most of our snow has gone, just watery ice now, cant wait for springtime :o))

Hi San not long now for Spring :)

How very wonderful. Even though we know it's going to happen, the bleakness of winter can make it seem so very far in the future. This is evidence it's sooner than we think. The pics are heartening.

Still cannot get out of our road and more snow forecast for here tonight. I had to take my own stitches out today as they have been in for 8 days.

isnt it nice to se the snow and ice beginning to melt...... my bird bath is defosting now to.............

hi jacque glad to see your snow is melting, almost gone here so hope no more,, im looking forward to our holiday a week tuesday, so excited now, :o))

Oh Jacque i must go and look at mine been too deep and cold but its melted a bit now, will have a peep tomorrow!!

I've still got quite a bit of snow. If it carries on thawing at the current rate, we might be clear by Easter!

Let's keep our fingers crossed for some milder weather Jacque. Everything is still icy and slushy here.
Tonight some contractors have just arrived at nearly 8pm as the water main burst alongside our house in the road yesterday, and water has been flowing down our road since then. Apparently there have been lots of bust water mains under the roads in and around Bristol during this recent cold spell.We are waiting for the drills to start any minute now to remove the tarmac.. The cold water supply will also be turned off soon.
Hope all is well with you Jacque xx

Reading all your comments im sure we`l all be happy when the Snows finally gone :) Sorry youv nearby Water Main Probs G&A :( Im so jealous of Your Hoil San & Alan/Grenville wish i was going 2 :) XXX

We've got more white stuff to come in our area, unfortunately. The local forecast this evening was NOT good. I heard about the water pipes bursting too, Grenville! Sorry you've got that problem to cope with. :-((

Maybe next week for us? I'm glad to hear about the thaw in other areas, though. :-)))

O No Spritz im sorry to hear that :( Maybe it wont be as bad as they say ? :/

:o)) will bring some better weather back x

Here in Newcastle it is thawing been able to clear a pathway to the gate at last.I can see some bulbs coming through and there is a bit of colour from the pansies.There is a weather warning out for Southwest England and South Wales for late Tuesday night.Hope it is not more snow for you.

Hope your signs of spring come true J, it has been raining here but it is very cold, I dont think we are out of the woods yet unfortunately.
Great to see your lovely pics.

Cant wait 4 your return San :) Iv seen some weather warning r still around & the south of UK is still colder which is strange ? :/

Yes - it did snow down here. Not as badly in our area as further south from us. Did you see Exeter on the news last night? More abandoned cars and accidents there - and as for higher ground, well, they are definitely snowed in still - only worse!

:( i dont watch News Spritz its 2 depressing & makes me angry :(

Hi Jacque...sorry late to this...our garden flooded at moment.Snow melted but heavy rain all day today !! We too have bulbs peeping out though !
