Weather Report..................

I have strong wind and a latte.

On Dunstable Downs.

I don't mind testing my legs against hills.
I don't mind testing my legs against strong wind.
But testing my legs against both hills and strong wind at the same time was almost a test too far!

Ah, but, is yours as strong as the external wind?! i.e. does it give you enough jet propulsion to make any headway...?

I'd expected a similar comment from Annie, Marie.
But you?
I'm gob-smacked!

[Pauljenny]

T, -shirt day today could even be shorts next week .clear blue sky,s and sunny

 

[Pauljenny]

Sleet , hailstones..
Then the wind drops. Sun breaks through.
We go out for a brief stroll.
A violent squall covers us in white stuff...
Stroll on .... !

 

[Wrighpm]

Baltic !

 

[The laird]

Icy and cold wee flurry of snow now n again

 

[Pauljenny]

Calmer this Leeds dawn..
Seemed strange too see a large flock of Rooks wheeling round.
It's been 20 years since we were up early enough in the UK.
Only 3 degrees.
" When will I see you again "

If we time it right we'll be on the plane and away tomorrow, before Dennis arrives.
Just got to brave Northern Rail and the Pennines , this morning.

I can’t believe that you are so keen to get away from our wonderful weather Paul, it’s a crisp clear blue morning in Cheshire and the thermometer is already up to 3 degrees, the wind has dropped so still feels like -3, but hey, what’s not to like , can I carry your bags Sir ................

3 degrees here too, rather appropriate as Paul and Jenny leave. Quite bright and light winds at present, but later the taf says “
Cumulonimbus.
rain showers, snow, rain showers, small hail or snow pellets” occasionally.
Possibly lots of snow to come overnight tonight. 🌧

 

[edina]

Cool with clear skies and sunshine

 

[Full Member]

It's 2°C in Hertfordshire.
Thank goodness us Southerners have evolved to cope with such severe conditions.
Dennis? He doesn't stand a chance.

Colin

 

[2cv]

The promised thunder is here, as are the snow pellets and hail.

 

[Exwindsurfer]

4C bright and sunny though.

 

[kenspain]

Same Boring weather clear blue skys sunny and warm

 

[Pauljenny]

Lovely bright, wintery day.
On a brand new Northern Rail train.. Not only is it moving, there's nothing rattling or falling off... Yet!
2 sultry degrees expected.
Hope tomorrow's early flight gets us out before storm Denis arrives.

 

[Pauljenny]

We're suffering too, I can see 4 clouds from where I'm sat and the temperature has dropped to 20c, I'll have to put my vest on

Well handled, so sensitive, Peter,.
Not the slightest hint of smugness there.
We share your suffering.

Sorry, Dave.
The answer is no.
If I set a precedent with you....
They'd all demand equal rights.

Pennines look very tempting, through a train window.
30 years ago, I'd have been yomping through them with mud over me boot tops.
Hebden Bridge looks a tad damp.

Ah well, worth a try, I’ll put my passport away for a few months ...........
As an update it is a lovely winter‘s day down here on the plain. Some useful tidying up in the garden and out of the wind there is the first hint of warmth in the sun. I have to say that the eternal deluge that we have suffered through last autumn and to date has left its mark. I’ve never seen so much moss everywhere. I expect it in the lawn but the the borders are covered in it as well, the birds will be pleased though, plenty of extra nesting material

... and now something to help cheer them up when back in boring old Portugal with all that nasty heat and sunshine
(and also for those other smug b.... sorry, so-and-sos, Kenspain and oppy...!)

 

[oppy]

As a smug so and so I have to report that it has been a chilly 17c today and overcast too. Nipped over to our friend, Harry Webb s vineyard, but he was out, ah well, no Christmas card for him this year
