PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I'm having to take warm water up to the chicken coup early every morning. Their drinking bucket has been freezing solid for the past week or so. They are always pleased to see me and have a good old guzzle of water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian..it's easy. We Brits deal with excessive Mediterranean heat by describing it as 'a different kind of heat'. So, I'd probably just describe Canadian conditions as a 'a different kind of cowd'. In all seriousness though.. it's not so much the cold..as the wind chill. Walking on a crisp but still day can be a delight. Walking into the teeth of an icy gale is a different thing altogether, especially if you have cardiovascular disease. https://www.verywellhealth.com/precautions-people-with-heart-disease-3863189 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'm still carting soil and rubble to a skip but the ground is concrete hard so having to pickaxe it out. Been loading the wheelbarrow with large slabs of frozen soil. Getting thicker by the day. Soon be permafrost! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 This could be the final day of the winter weather. It gradually warms up tomorrow with temperatures rising to 13C by the end of next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 We’ve already got a clump of brave little daffodils flowering in the garden. The sign of Spring but still a few weeks of Winter to cope with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 PP., do let us know if you dig up a Mammoth when you're down to the permafrost. They were still thriving in Staffs., up to the Bronze age. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
