  1. Same here. My pantry temperature is now -1 so have had to shift some stuff back into the house, but nothing outside to play with except crunchy laundry. Boo hiss. Come one weather, either give us snow, or a bit more sunshine to warm things up a bit.
  2. hehe, I can now say for sure it does nothing for a cough, but it has given me seriously bad side effects via my stomach and backside, oh lordy , never again. The bottle is now in the bin
  3. I loved the sunshine today, looking forward to more frosty days on the way. Nothing to moan about at all except the amount of coughing I am doing, and the way cough mixture doesn't seem to work.
  4. Or Scotland. Midge bites are way worse than mosquito bites in my experience
  5. I have been to Siberia in summer, very nice (Baikal) I recommend the place on the south eastern shore near the hot springs, as the temperature is moderated by the lake water and never gets too extreme, plus you get to rest your chilly limbs in the nice hot water from underground. You have to like eating lots of dried fish though.
  6. Haha, love the "you get what you asked for" Brexit snow map above. I was sad when I looked out of the window and saw the short term models were right about the frost going and the rain coming, boo hiss, but if you need a bit of schadenfreude to make you feel better, pity the poor Californians who have longed for rain for so long, but are now going to drown or have their lovely hillside mansions wash away.... Santa Cruz, Ca rainfall forecast for this Sunday:
  7. I seriously have upped my donations to any busker this Christmas who is playing a stringed instrument, singers and their cosy pockets are fine, but I've tried busking with a fiddle sub zero and it hurts, until it is numb....
  8. Just remembered a funny anecdote about why severe cold can be a pain in the backside - my hubby was touring with his band in Europe in 2010 when it was super cold (-22 degrees, I seem to recall) and their tour-bus toilets froze solid, so even though they were on a supposedly la di dah, all modcons deluxe sleeper bus, they were having to stop at rancid cafés and lay-bys just to go to the loo. So for rock and roll guys everywhere, I guess a mildish winter touring season is preferable.
  9. Has anyone analysed the periodicity of "cold forecasts going wrong" and "snow-is-coming" waves? Perhaps we could use the number of depressed comments on the MOD thread to predict the next big freeze....
  10. I would happily settle for a longish period of cold, enough to freeze Port Meadow so we can go ice skating there. Better than nothing, even if we have to wait until 3010 for sledging
  11. Nice video Weather History, big buildup and then, sploosh!
  12. (next verse:) "My guess is it's highly likely, It won't snow before February, Let's just hope it'll trend negatively, NAO, NAO, NAO"
  13. RIP Ian McCaskill, we loved his weather forecasts, especially when they brought our most memorable winter weather, and our igloo.
  14. Karlos - the bowl of petunias thing, it's from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, poor thing keeps being reincarnated over and over again.(From the Model thread, but not really going to post it there....)
  15. Hello Snow Queen one, thanks for the number, I would bet on the little one arriving about a week late though, so lets hope the snow comes on 23rd at the earliest. Or preferably in January when we haven't all got to be driving about to see the relatives.
  16. Please can I ask a question about the relationship between low pressure systems and earthquakes. My sister was visiting Sicily in October just at the same time as there was a tropical cyclone and an earthquake in central Italy, and now the combination of Hurricane Otto and an earthquake in Central America made me think there was a link: are storms able to make earthquakes more likely to trigger? Many thanks
  17. Please can I join in? and here are my igloo credentials: we built this when we were young and our school was closed due to snowy weather. Beautiful memories.
  18. Yes please, it sounds fun. I use an old iPhone, lets see if it works on that.
  19. Does that bottom chart show easterly winds starting to show up over the North Pole?
  20. http://www.disswebsites.com/article/take-a-look-back-at-diss-in-1947--ice-skating-is-how-they-rolled-back-then.html My hometown of Diss, before my time. I was lucky enough to step into the Mere when it was slightly frozen one winter, but am very envious of people who got to skate on it years ago :-)
  21. I need a snorkel that reaches far west, and a bathtub of ice.
  22. Goodbye hideous sticky heat, please don't come back soon. I need to be able to breathe and walk.
  23. I'm leaving my curtains open tonight just in case any more turns up, it is still v warm outside, always hopeful!
