No, but the forecast on the BBC Beechgrove Potting Shed today for next week was pretty awful.  :'(

Just downloaded my temperature dataloggers. We went from 28˚ in the shade on Thursday to -2˚ last night. We are very confused.

Homer hasn't been back for several weeks. The various youngsters were relocated to a nice woodland. Alas, Marge didn't make it. We found her (actually a him) on her last legs in the naughty tank one day. We deposited her under a conifer out of sight, but she was just too old, we think. It couldn't have been the organic muesli she dined on daily, the others managed OK.

Last week we were in the twenties today the 0 has fallen off and we only have 2c and SNOW. All my lovely plants are flattened.

Well, one good thing I got to use my new snow shovel. Hope it melts soon.

Not going outside today, but here is a view from my kitchen window. Poor birds one day they are sunbathing the next they are needing a wooly jumper.

Still -15oC at nights, 50 cm of snow and nothing has flowered yet :) At least the days are sunny, but freeze drying for evergreens.

I have not had any snow today, but the last few nights have been very cold.
 Last Night -10.9 °. There are many plants that have been frost damaged.
 Just got home from Peter Korn, he had -12 ° last night, although there was a lot of frost damage.
