Its still August and the heating has come on. 2 weeks ago I couldn't sleep a wink it was so hot, was sweating so badly just lying down still it was like someone had thrown a bucket of water over me. * Mental. * I've carefully worded this in order to avoid a Kenneth which I think I've managed nicely.

sne Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 According to the meteorologist on telly last night the city where I live Karlstad has not had a single hour of sunshine since the 27th November.

That's close to reaching Blade Runner levels of gloom. Quote The explanation behind the night black month - Russian weather phenomenon Since the end of November, the sun has been shining for a total of zero hours over several Swedish cities. It is Karlstad, Visby, Norrköping, Storlien and Stockholm that have not seen the sun throughout December. Now it seems that the night-black weather can be explained by a Russian weather phenomenon. The high pressure forms something called an inversion. It is a special weather situation when hot air cannot rise in height in the way it usually does. - Normally, the temperature drops with altitude when we reach the atmosphere. But when we have an inversion, the temperature drops first but then increases. In that layer you get a lid, says Marie Staerk TT. The lid keeps moisture and mist away because the sun is not so high in the sky during December, so it can not burn off the clouds. In addition to being dark and gray, inversions can lead to other problems. In larger cities, it can create smog as the phenomenon means that exhaust fumes and pollutants can remain at ground level. https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/PRvEJX/forklaringen-bakom-nattsvarta-manaden--ryskt-vaderfenomen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 December has become November, Part Two. Foggy, wet, dark and muddy. In my mind, it used to be snowy and fun. I’m probably just getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted December 11, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2020 And yet every single kids' book, film, etc. always shows Santa Claus delivering presents in a snowy winter wonderland. Don't children notice that it practically never snows at Christmas? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I don’t think I’ve ever seen it snow on Christmas Day, in the 40 years I’ve been alive. I remember it snowing on Boxing Day night but that’s only once. Yet every year people still waste their breath asking if we’ll have a white Christmas.

Seat68 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) When my daughter was about 6, around 25 years ago, it must have snowed in Telford on Christmas day as when we left carrots outside for the reindeers there was also foot prints in the snow.

Nice for the kids anyway. Edited December 28, 2020 by Mark Albrighton 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Woke up to find it’s white over, about 5cm and it’s still coming down. Looks beautiful, but could do without it today. I’ve got to drive my son to his theory test at 9am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
