Well this will be the last January 2012 weather posting...can you believe that it will be February next week?? The thing about the weeks going by so quick is that the days are getting lighter and Spring is getting closer!!
So the the weather!
Well the winds have been pretty mild this last week, nothing over 35m.p.h.
The temperatures have varied...never freezing much but staying in the single digits night and day.
We have had a few 'sleety' showers and plenty of rain but no snow as of yet.
A couple of days over the past week have had some bright sunny spells which lull you into a false sense of security just before the heavy clouds again roll over the horizon and dump on us.
The combination of sun and rain has caused for a couple of spectacular rainbows, though, unfortunately I have no pictures to show you.
I could go and take a picture for this post right now....but the sun set a couple of hours ago and it's raining and cold so it wouldn't be a fun picture to take or show.
Here's hoping the weather soon get's warmer.....can't complain though...it has been a very mild winter so far...and at least there is new life showing coming through the ground with the snowdrops again.
Have a good weekend!!

Hubby works in Bradford and it was snowing there when he left. I've noticed that it's colder here today than it has been for the rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the snow will stay away from us Jo!!!
Deletethe weather has been absolutely crazy here but at least we aren't breaking our backs shoveling like we usually do.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of the snow....it's pretty as it falls but then it is just lots of work and ugliness as it get's 'dirtied' up. Glad you aren't having to shovel too much!
DeleteYou have a good weekend too Tanya. It's good to have less wind
ReplyDeleteLess wind is always good Sue!
DeleteI'm glad this has been a mild winter. I remember reading about a scientific reason for this mild winter being caused by currents in the Pacific Ocean or something like that.
ReplyDeleteThey are always coming up with scientific reasons Ratty. I say nature is a force all of it's own and will hit us with whatever it feels like at the time. Mild winters are nice, but not so great for killing off any bugs you may have in the soil...always a catch 22 situation!
DeleteDear Tanya, The days are getting longer. I am so happy about that!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to my garden. It really makes me happy to work in the garden. I am thankful for that blessing.
Take care my friend and blessings, Catherine xo
I too am looking forward to getting back in the garden Catherine...I really miss being out there and nurturing during the winter months.
