The windy winter and occasional snow thread 2017/2018

I did the same here. Pretty sure that's why the weather has been odd.

Checking the long range weather report... End of next week has the potential to get quite cold maybe?

Oh well whatever happens, my log burner will be chucking loads of pollutants into the atmosphere regardless

[schmalex]

I haven’t even ordered logs yet!

It’s soooooo mild. We’ve had the week off and have been working in the garden in shorts and t shirts

I fly to Aus for work for 2 weeks at the beginning of Nov, so I’ll be able to stave off the cold for even longer

[AndStilliRise]

Hate the cold.

All you people getting your car tyres ready, it's like you don't want snow!

My excuse is that my summer tyres were on the limit and needed replacing anyway, so why not switch over ? Sorry

The days of cold British winters are long gone. Global warming has put an end to them. May get a sprinkle in London for a day in January, but that's about as bad as it will ever get now.

Ah but Yipper not every one lives in laaaandaan ... some of us live where it does get cold !

We had a frost in rural Hampshire this morning - get in!!!!!!

Sorry about that, but it was a bit cold sleeping outside the front door so thought you wouldn't mind?

[J4CKO]

Was at Elvington today, the wind blowing across was very fresh !

I was out. I guess you met big Ron? He is terrible for letting people into our bedroom.

I can tell it's cold by the way you are typing.

There was even a Frost in the middle of Southampton today! Good decision to wear a jumper this morning.

[RicksAlfas]

Iced up car windows this morning for the first time this season...

[Otispunkmeyer]

We're heading into a La Nina this year (I think essentially this is cold water currents dominating in the oceans) so I think we'll get harsher winter this year than the mild ones we have had. Solar Cycle shows the sun at a low output also.

The car was reading 0 degrees both Saturday am and this morning...it's here (winter).

Meanwhile the 'leaf blower' railway thingummygig has been doing mucho overtime this past few weeks, about the only rail vehicle moving without restriction on Southern Rail.

Did anyone else see the spectacular sunset on Saturday? Fabulous blue sky with burning orange clouds...Mr. Turner where are you?
