Hello

Post: # 219394Post ivysue »

Hi everyone from North Lincolnshire, England

We have just had the worst December I can remember with a foot of snow that remained froze for a whole month. This area is lucky usually to get an inch or two that only lasts a few days. Even now the two nature ponds in the garden have not defrosted since the last few days of November.

All the best for the New Year.

Hi ivysue and welcome to Ish :lol:

We've all had pretty bad time this winter, like yourselves we usually only get a couple of inches - for about 2 weeks in early February! Just before Christmas, having survived all the really deep snow, we were housebound for about a week because of the ice - I didn't mind it too much though, I'd quite happily hibernate in winter anyway. Must be the dormouse in me :lol:

Whereabouts are you?

Hello and welcome Ivysue :wave: .
We have just had another fall of snow, Orkney usually gets just a covering (deep in places though) but it only lasts a week usually..........not this time! Happy -ishing.

Hi Ivysue and welcome to Ish :wave:
I am like JessieMac, barely no snow at all, one of the rare counties of England which didn't get snow or so little it is not worse talking about it....
But it could still happen...
