Not ashamed to say I've been wearing two pairs of socks around the house the last few days.

I feel it in my hands mostly, have had lots of impact injuries over the years from sport (Hockey & Hurling) and when the cold weather arrives I struggle with them.

We've a nice dusting here, and it's still coming down.

Yeah, theres a real bitter cold feel at the moment. Maybe its my age but man I'm really feeling it these days, even with the heating on I'm struggling to get the heat in to me.

Not just you,this is the coldest I've remembered it being since 2018 and Storm Emma.

We've just wet snow.
We were having ham for our dinner Today and in Aldi last night I saw a bit of turkey and we made stuffing also! I decided to go all out for the snow.

I was going to go out for a walk today but after spending 10 mins outside in the shed gathering firewood I'll give it a break today. The windchill is bitingly cold. Reckon I'll work on my writing with a hot chocolate by the fiire. Keep warm all and don't go out unless you have to! Mind yourselves.

Just back from my lunchtime walk with the doggo, wow that wind chill really is something else, so cold! Phone says feels like -5 I believe it, glad I went now that I'm back home in the warmth!

Caranica

What a gorgeous dog and the perfect name!

Finally snowing here in D15 but teeny tiny flakes...I miss proper snow, maybe not as much as we had in 2010 but at least snow you can clearly see as snow!

Congratulations on the new arrival, Autosport.

Autosport

Thank you all He is now snuggled on the couch beside me When we were leaving another dog was dropped off and she was gorgeous, a German shepherd/Labrador mix

Gorgeous doggy, Autosport

Made it home from work ok, and I'm stunned at all the snow! Went outside and made a snowman as soon as I changed from my work uniform. The dog is having a great time, she's never seen proper snow before. Hope everyone is warm and safe!

Ah Alfie is a dote! Love seeing everyone's pets on here

Posy

Not fair!! I want my snow!!!

Aww Autosport, Alfie is adorable

From one Alfie to another, here's my Alfie on his Birthday two weeks ago

Not much on the snow front around my way bit of light flutters on the roads/grass when walking Alfie in the mornings, but melts just as quick. It's his first introduction to the snow too since i adopted him, and he's been loving rolling in whatever white he can find on the walks, so can't wait to watch him experience it when the heavy snow arrives.

Alexa said we are due snow tonight. Her weather predictions have been a bit patchy so not holding my breath!

SCOOP 64

Ah, no snow here either, Wexford.

TRS30

Nothing here so far either. Kids very disappointed.

DvB

Nice bright morning here though, beats the gloomy grey sky we've had of late. Still bitterly cold though.

Autosport

Giget your Alfie is gorgeous too He slept well last night but I kept waking up to make sure he was ok He doesn’t seem to mind the snow

DvB

The sun is absolutely beaming into my home office here, its fantastic. Its almost like the weather knows its Friday!!
Hopefully it stays like that so I can finish up a little early (try to finish at 4pm of a Friday) & get out for a walk with the family.
Have been sat indoors since Saturday when I did the grocery shopping & could use some fresh air, even if that air is minus 5 or suchlike

TRS30

Sun trying to break through here. With you on the finishing early and get out for some fresh air. A bit of a stretch in the evening now which is great. The long summer days are not far away (positive vibes today).
