Where is winter?

[greensurfingbear]

the seeds I put out on the bird feeder up here in the hills of Clyde Muirshiel Regional park have germinated!

we take daily weather readings and its been around 10oC most days at mid day

The wind is certainly cold but once that eases off it's really mild around here.

I'm busy for the next few weekends anyway so hoping it'll turn by the time I'm out next.

Is there any truth to the rumour that winter was being delivered by Yodel? Have you looked in the bins, the shed and checked to see whether it's been left with the neighbours?

Is that the path we used Andy?

Yesterday here the weather was drizzle and fog, today it is fog and drizzle. The temperature is 10+ degrees celcius the whole time.

I can remember plenty of warm winters but I'm struggling to recall one which was so consistently warm and wet. Not even a hint of proper cold at all so far. Still, early days, I suppose.

No Rich differant beach same sort of cliffs to get down but with the added bonus of no path,and now with two great big muddy landslips to contend with.

Its Grim. Long range shows 'potential' for colder weather at the end of the month. Lets hope Feb bites back with some really severe cold.

Yes please. I've just ordered an overstuffed UQ

I've just been looking at a few 7 day forecasts, it looks like this time next week it'll be cooling down again in most parts. Scotland is looking at around 0*c with light snow for Friday.

The strong westerlies are dying off with colder north easterlies coming down from Scandinavia

It's a start at least

???? We're getting near that (or even lower) here in north Florida at night! No snow though.

l'm sitting outside in oslo as I type, wearing thermal vest and short sleeve shirt!

Winter has been cancelled this year.

In its place we will have an early spring from January to May followed by an extra autumn lasting from May to August.

Summer will be from 14 to 18 August, then "normal" weather for the rest of 2013.

 

[ZEbbEDY]

folk were going on about how harsh it was gonna be because of all the berries on the trees etc

 

[Wayland]

I've never really understood how trees can be prescient.

I think it was just a bit of wishful thinking.

 

[treadlightly]

I've read warnings of an impending harsh winter based on the profusion of berries every year of recent times. Some winters were harsh, some warm.

If this weather stays the way it is, I'm cutting my hedge!
