  1. No sign of Storm Jocelyn at Heathrow, a very uneventful landing into grey skies, drizzle and 12 degrees. Ah well...
  2. I'm keeping fingers crossed for arriving back at Heathrow tomorrow afternoon from Prague. @Kentspur we got plenty of snow and ice on the ground It's raining this evening, in case we're missing home maybe
  3. Thanks Tom, I appreciate your very educated guess:) The car had those pretty star-shaped patterns on the windscreen, although the sun is clearing it all now. Frost or no frost, it's absolutely freezing out there!
  4. Very cold here this morning. Local weather station says -1.7c, dew point -5.7c. Husband wants to know why the frost appears to be melting if it's below zero outside. Beautiful clear blue skies again and crisp air.
  5. Thanks, and yes, I had a bit of hope for snow in Prague, but am happy with cold and seasonal. Agree with what you say, 'cold' varies so much, especially with a stiff wind against you. I'll put Riga on the list; I was there as a student, so it would have changed rather a lot by now. My coldest ever was -25 in Moscow, and my face went so numb I couldn't speak! Sounds like you have done well on the snow front - send your luck around the south east on Wednesday... please!
  6. A beautiful winter's morning here in Surbiton, after a hard overnight frost (the closest to anything looking like snow we're likely to get!), the air is crisp and sunny under blue skies, although rather raw walking into that wind. I'm loving the seasonal weather personally, but am disappointed at the lack of the white stuff later in the week. We're off to Prague for a few days on Saturday, so the cold weather will be good practice for correct clothing choices; hoping that storm doesn't come in too early and disrupt the flights.
  7. Bristawl Si had a go at answering this very question in the Model thread a day or two ago: And yes, it's very cold out there... and drizzling...
  8. Can I very much agree with @Paul; it's the first place I go, along with my regional thread, to get a feel for what's going on. Then, if I have time, I brave the MAD thread!
  9. Well, @northwestsnow will be behind the sofa, @sheikhy will be farting, @MATTWOLVES 3 will be telling us to get our coats as we've pulled, and nearly all of us will be hitting the booze, so that's Saturday night sorted....
  10. Some serious gusts are whipping through Surbiton now, just outside of the amber warning. It was bins day, so rubbish is flying around everywhere, empty bins have gone over and there's some crashes and bangs going on outside that I hope have nothing to do with the scaffolding over the road; trees are blowing like mad. Re: cold prospects and the MAD thread, I will be very happy if we can just get some respite from all the wet weather and replace it with crisp, cold days, some nice frosts, and the possibility of some flakes falling. Top of a Swiss mountain conditions would be fabulous, as would 2009-2010 redux, but for now, no more rain please! Edit: neighbours are out trying to put bins back together braving an onslaught of yet more flying debris - it's kicking off! And edit again, I went out to retrieve someone else's bin from our drive; returning it, I found another neighbour's bin straddling the road, and while I returned that, a large plank of wood went flying from the skip at the house renovation opposite. It's been a wild half an hour!
  11. My husband becomes very anxious in heavy rain and has really been struggling a lot in recent weeks. There is also autism in the family. Hmmm... As others have noted, very windy last night, windows rattling more than in some considerable time, and then of course, we wake up to yet more rain;/
  12. Get better soon! It's been a cold, damp and rainy few days. Let's hope the background drivers deliver for later in December
  13. I think we are saved, during this season, by the highlights thread - it prevents a lot of unnecessary scrolling! Grey here, again. Looking forward to cold and frosty weather. Visiting my niece in Brighton tomorrow where it might be rather bracing:)
