I just want to see some sunshine. Seems like it's been cloudy and grey for ages, so bored of it.

Well, I had a look at weather summaries for 2010 and found there was widespead fog in  November before that freezing December...so maybe NFI is worth looking into?

Not a very nice today with low cloud a intermittent light rain / drizzle all day , at least it quite mild and tomorrow’s prospects look much better, I see the hunt for cold has started in Ernest in the mid Thread , hopefully this year we shall have a couple of snowy periods .

Grim weather, very unpleasant. I'd like a decent colder outbreak just to clear all this muck away. Have a feeling that we will see a proper snowy and freezing spell this winter. There are one or two indications in nature.

Well it's official, the first signs of winter 2017/18 this year is 28th October much later than last year

Shutting the allotment down today for the year. Had quite a few failures in my first season but can't wait for next year as we'll have a polytunnel!!!

Chilly start here - 4.9.c. 

Not as chilly as  nine years ago today though when I went shopping in Asda High Wycombe and came out to this...

A chilly start to the day no frost however a low of 5C we may come close Monday morning.
