I love the blue sky, crisp, cold winter weather. I hate the more mild, grey, damp winter weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I could probably scrape up all the snow in my street and fit it in a mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if we have microclimate up here. My daughter was the same though, went to sleep excited, woke up pissed off with not a drop in sight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I went outside to make a path from the house to the gate so we’re not totally trapped. I did the same last night and it was already gone. It’s mad, it’s like we have a walled path made of snow. I went to grab something from the garden and it went past my knees in the drifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) A crisp -16°C this morning when I went to work. Rest of the world is burning but here it's lovely winter weather. Edited December 5, 2023 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) One of the roughest days at work for a while in terms of weather. Cold , wind , rain one of those moments where I thought why didn’t I do well at school so I could be an office boy fanny but quickly knocked them daft thoughts out my head and told myself I’m a man .
