Weather

Yes, -2°c climbing to 0°c later. We've also noticed the house being colder than usual, not sure if it's old age or if the thermostat needs bumping up a tad. Shopping day so back in the old routine.

Take care folks.

Got to walk into town later to collect prescriptions, will need well wrapped up as still below 0 degrees here. Don't mind these sub zero back to back days when dry and windless, it is the damp cold that gets to me.

Managed a short walk with Tag earlier before the hailstones came down, still patchy black ice on the footpaths though .
Cooler than usual Tony, our thermostat is set at17.5 and the heating is coming on at 5 in the morning.
Take care if your out and about or at work (Dave)

Although a wintery feel in the air, there's still some warmth in the sun, had a couple of Tags dog towels washed this morning and out on the wall drier facing the sun for a few hours , nearly dry enough to bring inside to finish of on the bathroom drier..
Have a nice evening , winter starts to morrow .

Happy St Andrews day

The 1st December............how did that happen

After a clear night we have frost and it's -3°c. There's a light blanket of cloud this morning so I don't think we'll see much of the sun today. Chances are the cloud will hold the temperatures down. I think "we" are going out today on a mission, I await instruction

Take care folks

A frosty morning here but no snow this time. Nothing planned until this afternoon when management goes out for lunch with her friend. It’s that time of year when planning trips goes on hold until new year. I have a workshop project to finish so once Muttly has had his walk I will go out and turn the heater up to make the place habitable.
As management has reminded me it’s the 1st of December so I had best order her pressy.

Very cold night, -4 degrees, glad I drained the van down. Apparently I am taking management Christmas shopping this afternoon. Suppose I should comply but was hoping for a quiet afternoon in my chair.

Surprised I haven't been dispatched to the attic yet for perpetual advent calendars and start of seasonal jollity to decorate the house.

Stay warm out there

-4 here as well with good covering of frost everywhere.  Looks as if we will only get + temp between 11am and 2pm then back to minus with tonight as low as-5.

It must have rained and then froze at some time last night because the pavements and side roads are covered in bumpy ice. It was a struggle to walk at any more than a shuffle. There was a lot of scraping of windscreens.

2 inches of frozen slush is thawing in the sunshine, hopefully get out for a good walk later.
Take care, have a nice day.

Suns back out again after a couple of snow flurries , short walk with Tag as the wife had other ideas for me, Argos collection, trip into town and hand balling duvet covers and mattress toppers.
Afternoon Dave, have a great day all, wee half tonite for St Andrew .

Cheers Boaby

Morning Boaby,

Don't know what the temp got down to last night but the frost was like snow.  Still only -2 but it is sunny so, hopefully, it will get a wee bitty warmer as the day goes on.  Shopping day so no need for a cool bag.

Bone chilling -7 this morning. Provided chauffeuring and portering services for management's Christmas shopping yesterday. Don't intend crossing the threshold today, forecast a bit less cold tomorrow.

Stay warm and safe

Only -2°c but we have a blanket of around 3in of snow lying. The sky is pretty clear but more snow showers are expected later this morning. No reason to go out, so I won't.

Take care all

Ice walkers on this morning, slush has frozen solid at -4 , sun is coming up over the roof ridges, so hopefully bring a wee bit of heat to the washing.
Take care if you have to go out, not a day for bringing on the road, all I can hear is ambulances zooming along the Scarborough road.
Have a nice day, morning Dave. And Tony who just got in there
Boaby

Not quite as much as Tony, .....about an inch here in Stirling.    We must be on the perimeter.

Morning Boaby,

Same as Tony here, -2 and around 3 inches of snow.  Think it's a feet up, hot chocolate and telly day.

2c here no real snow, no wind either...and foggy.

Remember this is BEFORE air source heat pumps and electric cars......

Suns melting the ice on the roads and windscreens, no wind, will get Tag out for a wee donder in a wee while.
Take care is your out shopping .

It looked like we had a light covering of snow last night because everything was white but the paths were walkable unlike last night.
I have done my bit for Christmas regarding shopping for management. Once again the post office messed up delivery times. The text message said Monday between 9 - 11. It arrived today whist I was out with muttly. It is well wrapped so she dosnt know what it is. Her other pressy is via Everi. Their delivery guy lives next door but one so that should be on time.

Warmest it got here today was -1 although the sun appeared for a short while.  Hopefully it doesn't freeze tonight.

Couple of inches of snow overnight here,still very cold at -2 , deep snow up on the moors .
tag can get his walk later .
Have a nice day, stay warm if you can.
Morning Dave,Tony Ian.

Boaby

Started at -6 earlier, now at -3 and forecast to rise into positive temperatures later. Might try to defrost cars later on

Fortunately we avoided snow despite reports of it in all directions around us, including in the coast at Arbroath. Daughter in Kinross reports several inches.

Take care if you are out and about

Morning Boaby. No more snow but we've still got the stuff from yesterday, no signs of it going anywhere. We're scheduled to get our booster and flu jabs this evening, main roads are OK but our side roads are awful. I'll have a go this morning and see how this works, might have to rebook

Take care folks.

Rain and +1c here, gloomy, grim!
Last Sunday, Valley of the Kings, Luxor, 28c and sunny!
Think we'll move!

Be careful, wifey wanted to use her moped yesterday to the shops, forbade....
She walked and found that hard enough!

Woke up this morning to find a covering of snow but it feels warmer so I don’t think it will stay long. Going back to being brought up in a Pennine village in West Yorkshire we mostly had full snow for weeks in January or February. I can’t rember snow at Christmas.
My Dad told us that when I was born February 55 he had to reverse up one of the hills because his van was lower geared and griped better backwards. There was no heater in that van. He used to wear his ex army great coat.
