Re: Get your thermals ready!!

Heating has gone on for first time this morning, I was up at 3am and decided a shower before work was out of the question as the bathroom was so cold so put the heating on before I left, husband got up to toastie warm bathroom and I will be having my shower in a few minutes after this lovely cup of tea.

Carol Kirkwood on BBC Breakfast said the temperature dropped to -6 oC at Bentwood in Oxfordshire last night I can relate to that, as I returned home from the restaurant last night I noticed a heavy frost rime forming on all the cars parked in the street.

Re: Get your thermals ready!!

LONG-RANGE weather forecasters have warned that Britain should prepare for heavy and persistent snow for up to THREE MONTHS with winter 2013 set to be the worst in more than 60 years.
I am not sure how such a prediction can be made when it is not yet possible to accurately say what the weather will be more than a couple of weeks ahead.

In all probability it will snow because it usually does in the winter and if the pressure system settles in a particular area any cold spell could be prolonged.

As always happens with 'predictions' if those who claim them are correct they will say so, if they aren't the predictions will be largely forgotten .

I still haven't forgotten the 'barbecue summer' of 2009 when it rained just about every day from May till September and our little hamlet for the first time in living memory was completely surrounded by water.

Re: Get your thermals ready!!

I think I must be feeling the cold, or was it because I had been off work for a month, we have had the heating on for a few weeks now, ok only for about an hour a day.

But the car last night when we went out at 8.30 pm was totally frozen took ages to get the frost off it was solid and yet this morning not a bit of frost in site.

Re: Get your thermals ready!!

We all know what the weather is like here in Winter. Today I had a laugh as my penfriend in Tasmania was saying she has got her electric blanket on. I said I didn't have one but have a hot water bottle especially when it gets to -10. She said, it doesn't get to -10 in England, I cant remember that.
She has been in Oz for 50 years. So you could say that memories fade

Re: Get your thermals ready!!

We had a much colder then usual summer, never once wanted the AC on and my electric blanket got used even then, now it is on all the time! We have had one night down to 18 and it was 20 last night. Ground was white with snow and frost this morning. Does that help warm you up? I wear the heavy sweat shirts, 2 at a time...we have wood heat with the furnace in the basement where I can't get to, so when it burns out the house gets darn cold until somebody comes home to start the fire again...have a back up oil furnace but it is set at 65 and that is not warm to me.

Maybe you all will feel warmer when I tell you it is -25 here! We all complain about our weather, don't we?
