Not long until the days start lengthening again which I'm looking forward to. The rainy days have the effect of it seeming much darker than it is.

Absolute snuggles weather out there.

Think this is the coldest morning we've had so far. Saw a bloke out walking the dog in shorts and flip flops like an absolute madman.

It feels so much colder than it is out there this evening. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was about to snow!

Always baffles me how there is this much water in the sky. Been torrentially raining since about 9am. Lots of flooding.

Wind and rain has arrived here with some strong gusts, but worst of it not due until later.

Looking at 40mph winds tomorrow in my area according to the forecast. Could be fun!

This is what I was thinking. Surely at some point the conditions will have changed enough that Hurricanes will be a thing here.

Sunny but cold. Finally, some weather I can actually do something in. Going to take full advantage and 'put the garden to sleep for winter'.

TROPICAL STORM PABLO WWW.NHC.NOAA.GOV This one sneaked up on us.

POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE OLGA WWW.NHC.NOAA.GOV Became post tropical before I had chance to post about it. Bit of a wet blanket really, just like another Olga I know.

Windy evening out there. Wet, windy and cold. Proper snuggles weather.

Very quick dissipation.

And on again for a few hours tonight to take the chill out the house.

Now a Tropical Storm

Anvil or a cloud imitating one?

Mainly thanks to Lorenzo I imagine.

Complete bust here. Had heavy rain for about 10 minutes at 7pm and then just drizzle. No T&L

This is the umpteenth day we've had storms forecast for this area with absolutely no model support for it as far as I can see. Bizarre.

Everyone remember to blame Damis husband after a snowless winter!

For me it's mainly a drop in mood. I like snow and I like the rain but I hate so many days of cold, grey nothingness. I'm also very outdoorsy so I feel like I can't do the things I want to so much in winter. As soon as spring hits my mood improves.

Again, the Beeb wildly off the mark. Rained for a couple of hours this morning but dry since yet heavy rain forecast all day.
