Where is winter?

[treadlightly]

Not a flake of snow, nor even a crystal of frost, just warm, wet and windy. Can anyone remember less festive festive weather?

 

[jimmypw]

I think it's easier to invert the question. The only festive weather I can remember was when I was a child.

4 years ago was very mild, think i wore shorts into early december IIRR.

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.

Hope it isn't Feb ... at least on the roads to Glencoe! But the weather is sorting herself out with the climate change and we can pretty well say goodbye to "how it has been". Even Aunty Beeb's weather is acutally daring to admit it as of yesterday's f/casts ... must be moving away from "Don't frighten the horses"

Similar temperatures to last year's 'winter', in double figures most days. At least it is a little wetter this time round though so the water tables, lakes, resevoirs etc. should be full. There were drought conditions in many places this time last year if you remember.

if it carries on like this i may have to flee the country for some decent cold weather

14.5*c up here yesterday

I'm hoping by the end of the month we'll be getting the snow from the US

Here in Reading we have roses budding and blooming, Dandelion clocks, and pigeons chasing each other around the garden and 'billing and cooing' on the fences. Oh are they in for a surprise.

Mad isn't it? Bought a new down jacket in preparation for the winter, and I have yet to find an excuse to take the tags off and wear it!

Its default british weather, rubbish but about average.

We got too used to the cold of the last 3 years, warm and wet winters are the norm. Interesting things happening higher up at the moment though-big changes are afoot.

 

[Wayland]

I'm just hoping we don't get this heat wave when we go to Sweden at the end of the month...

I'm hoping the unreliable long range forecasts are wrong as usual. If it verifies, were going to have a hard time.

It's typical Florida Winter weather here. Cold as a witch's heart one night and beach weather the next day. Ironically they're forecasting one of our coldest winters for the Norhtern half of the country over the next few weeks.

As I age the appeal of cold snow camps is fading fast, this weather is much better, healthier too for many pensioners and low income families who can't afford to heat their homes these days.

 

[Martti]

The winter is in Finland, as always.

The amount of rain we have had over that last year has been incredible, i wanted it to subside over the Christmas period so i could get out and record more videos but had very little luck of that, rush of Christmas and new year didn't help either. I took a train to Norwich a few days ago, there has been so much flooding of rivers and farmers fields, i almost mistook some of the flooding for large lakes.
Having said this i did enjoy today, it made a change to be out in the forest in the sun instead of the rain
