What a day: wind cutting through my coat, flurries of snow and hail and no improvement for days according to the BBC. It's so horrible that I'm actually happy to be inside doing the accounts!

I truly feel your pain. Bad enough here, but I can't imagine what it's like in an exposed area like yours.

We have blue sky and sunshine, but the wind is very cold and cuts through you alright. 

Commiserations to those with snow, hail and other nasties to add into the mix :(

Couldn't get to sleep with the wind howling and things banging around. Actually checked the greenhouse at 2.30am as I heard a crash. All was well :)

It's a bit calmer now but cold - wind coming back tonight. I might head out to the potting shed although I feel like going back to bed if the truth be known.

Calm after a very windy and snowy night.  Apparently another storm on the way tonight.

It got really wild around 3am to 5am - I lay there thinking that even if the greenhouse was in trouble there wasn't much I could do about it.
Fell into a really deep sleep when it calmed down and slept right through the alarm so the hens got an extra hour in bed, which they weren't very pleased about.
Greenhouse OK, Polytunnel OK, Sheds OK (They're bolted into the slabs below) :)
Patio plastic chairs retrieved from the field, table legs had come off (very weird) but I think it will be OK. Pot that was on the table smashed - which is the only loss I can see.
Very gentle wind and drizzle at the moment. Next 2 days looking fair.

We were, and got some washing dry on the line, first time in ages - but now we have big fat drops of rain falling - mad cat is trying to catch them. Sooo funny  :lol:

Wild, wild winds in the night woke me up as it redistributed the wheelie bins folk had put out for collection today. Luckily they were the recycle bins, not the waste bins, so escaped litter was easily collected up again. Wind caught the edge of the giant coldframe at the plot and tore the door/lid off (damn!) but the polytunnel is OK and so are the sheds. Mr S had repaired the roof of one yesterday with new felt and some very long screws, so that averted possible disaster. The roof had com adrift in the previous high winds.

Mild and sunnyish today though, mild enough to almost dry a lineful of laundry  :D

Some years back I was in Norway, staying with a friend. I went out onto his veranda (which had overhead heating!!) and watched a lady in the neighbouring farm hang out her washing. It was about -20ºC

I called to my friend, wondering if she was mad. He said to just keep watching. She came out again with a carpet beater (that's just confused younger readers) and bashed the washing. Sheets of ice dropped off it. Then she unpegged it all and took it back in.

By this time I'm totally bemused and my pal explained it was now freeze dried and would just need airing.

I fear for you when you say you went out to check the greenhouse on nights like that, there’s nothing you could do at that point & it must be incredibly dangerous,what if a piece of glass were to fly off when you were there? Doesn’t bear thinking about 😱
