Christmas Eve 5 years ago here in t'Dales just before 10am.
At 4.30 am that morning I was up driving my baby daughter about to try get her to sleep. It was -22.
Hope we get some more of that. Was ace. We had snow on the ground for 39 consecutive days that winter and it didn't get above freezing for a 6 day period at one point.

I remember driving to my parents and the snow was like concrete on the rural main roads and -17c at lunchtime. The snotter on winters and the odd 4x4 were practically the only cars to get into the village, but I couldn't get over how hard the snow on the ground was.At 4.30 am that morning I was up driving my baby daughter about to try get her to sleep.

Just two years ago it took a month for this to clear.
It was 9 feet deep in places and just when we had a path cleared it was filled the next day.
I beached the snotter on a 3 foot snow drift just outside the house. At least I made it home. I must admit I was starting to get really worried that night the front bumper had become a snow plough.
The army had to mobilise a couple of Chinooks that night to start feeding starving cattle.

There is an odd yellow ball in the sky today and it's accompanied by a blue sky, should I report it to the authorities?
What a relief after what has seemed to be utterly endless grey, damp and dank days....
No idea what it could be. We're not due the sun for approximately another month so just running around the in dark not seeing anything these days! What a relief after what has seemed to be utterly endless grey, damp and dank days....
I was looking at my weather app today and it shows the highest and lowest temps for each day, it makes you realise that this mild weather isn't very unusual at all.
2006/1987/1991/2012/1997/2011 all had mild temps in December over the last few days higher than now where I am, comparing 2010 to 2011 for Christmas day is bonkers a high of 11c in 2011 compared to a low of -7c in 2010.
(my weather app could be telling porkies)
