It's snowing!!
It really is. We've got some cover on the lawn, though the cedar tree
protects the grass underneath its canopy and snow is lying on paths, hedges etc. I can hardly believe my eyes - snow in South Devon in November! Now.....if it gets windy, this could get interesting! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

I'd like some of that snow too . We have mixed reports here some
saying it will snow , some saying it won't (reading , berkshire). I know my kids would love it , my 9 month old boy has never seen the stuff by the by does anyone know how hardy oestopernums ( not sure of spelling) are as mine have wilted heavily with the frost. Also how hardy are Fatsia japonica's ? Cheers Colin |

They won't survive a heavy frost and it's wisest to bring them indoors for the winter and keep them in a frost-free environment. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

Well, I don't know what its like down in Cockinton (its a bit of a frost pocket there) but its fine here - snow on the roofs and a bit tucked in shady places. And speaking of frost pockets, that village I used to live in was totally white with frost the other day, apparently. That's a frost pocket, if you like! The sun is out now and it really is quite pleasant. The 'stat' says 6C which in one way is cold, but for an arctic blast its quite erm... balmy :| I see they've had it bad on the moors - but that's what they're there for - to keep the worst weather away from S. Devon :) The A38 seems to be our 'weather barrier' but as I look out of the window, there are heavy clouds coming from the south west, adding themselves to those we have over us already. My stepdaughter rang from Plymouth earlier to say she couldn't see more than two feet out of her office window! We've had some sun but it's all gone now and the temp is dropping like a stone. One of the people from Monro's rang us to say he's been stuck on Gossmoor for more than 3 hours. Even Ray is wearing his "Everybody Loves Raymond" baseball cap today! Any excuse - duh I dunno ;) Yeah, but it's true. ;-) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

Gardening_Convert wrote: Also how hardy are Fatsia japonica's ? Very. Mine is snowed under every year. I think it's the best time of the year for them as they look wonderful covered of snow. They might not think the same tho ... I love ivy in the snow, rosemary, my bench and my barrow full of the white stuff. Can't wait to go onto the Rochdale hills this week end if we're as lucky as you. |

quote..by the by does anyone know how hardy oestopernums ( not sure of
spelling) are as mine have wilted heavily with the frost. Depends on the variety. I had one in Lincolnshire for years, not sure which as it came as a cutting from my father, took everything the weather could thow at it including being frozen for days at a time, best to just leave it and see. Plenty in full flower here at the moment. Mike |
Snowing here too!
In far west Cornwall, it hovered around 4C most of last night and
through today, with a strong to gale force NNW wind and passing hail showers. But at about 4pm the wind dropped sharply, veered easterly for about half an hour and the temperature plummeted. Then it started to snow. At 6pm the temperature was a whisker above freezing, the wind had gone back to the north and snow was lying about half an inch deep, although it now seems to be melting in places. I see the temperature has actually risen a degree in the last half hour. We'd managed to avoid the frosts earlier in the week, but not for much longer I fear. I hope my fleece 'wigwams' over my proteas do the biz, having survived the gales of last night! -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
