Global warming: when????

[bb07]

Bring it on I say. Last night we had a low of -44.9°C:yikes:
Tonight a rather balmy -33C for a low. I like winter and would love a constant -20 or so, but this is nuts. Good dry firewood is man's best friend
Oh well, only a few more months, and there is a bright side to everything: no bugs

I'm sitting here, in Scotland, 1 am in the morning, at the end of December, just past the shortest day, and I'm wearing a short sleeved blouse and we have no heating on in the house just now, and I am comfortable

In previous years I have gone to bed at this time wearing flannel pyjamas, fluffy bedsocks, with two hot water bottles and under three quilts to sleep.

There's sommat amiss somewhere

The weather's dreadful though; torrential rain and hail, but it's not cold, it really isn't.
It's the least christmassy looking Christmas time here that I can recall.
You might not have any bugs, but I got bitten by midgies in the garden at the end of November

Hope things warm up a bit for you though :sun:
Merry Christmas when it comes

atb,
Toddy

It'll warm up sooner or later alright. I just hope it's sooner
And Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.

I had the air conditioner on here earlier today. I'll have he heat on in a couple of days. possibly both on the same day.

It is stupidly mild here this Winter, but in the last few years its been much colder than normal.

Of course when I was a boy I remember some years being cold, and others less so

 

[Shewie]

This is the mildest December I can remember, bring on the snow I say, roll on January

I heard the other day that the ice caps are showing signs of increasing again, there's definitely a wire loose somewhere

All over the place up here, snow on Thursday, aound 3 inches total. By Friday evening it had gone, yesterday we had about an inch an a half so it's all white here at the mo.

I'm heading up to the Cairngorms in January, so hoping for lots of snow.

Fingers crossed then! Beware the last w/end when the sled dog rally's on in Aviemore, quite often that's when we don't have snow

Yup! made that mistake before. Spent a lot of the week in the bar of the Cairngorm hotel, so was'nt completely wasted. (The time wasn't wasted, I was!).

Wet, windy and warm: my least favourite Christmas weather. I too can remember cold, cold winters when I was a boy (icicles as thick as a man's arm). As for the warmer ones, I've conveniently forgotten them.

Nasty storms predicted for Christmas day aswell

Yup. Consistently 6C warmer than it should be for this time of year, here in Yorkshire.

Meanwhile it snows heavily in Syria.

It's the one UK weather that I can't find a satisfactory way of dealing with; Whatever I wear will be defeated by one or other of the "three w's".................and if I'm windproof and dry, I'm boil-in-the-bag, and that is my all time worst nightmare!

Whatever weather we get this time of the year in the U.K be it rain ,sleet, hail, high winds,freezing cold,snow, its all just normal its been like that as long as i can remember(47yrs) there's hardly a day goes by when its the same, its just weather.
