Anyone else cold?
We had minus 8.3C this morning and my lake is completely frozen over as it's been getting progressively colder and colder the last 5 days or so. Glorious sunshine and white frosts and looking really Christmassy - snow forecast for tomorrow then after that gradully warming up back to zero and beyond and boring old rain back again. So far our Xmas day forecast is for fog!

Really cold here and forecast to get colder. The forecast for Friday is -5 for the high and -11 for the low! That is colder than I am used to.

Cold enough here to freeze the animal's drinking water, but not a whole lake.

Cold here minus 6 this morning, saw a brass monkey on route to the welding shop, no idea why, and guess what ????? the central Heating has just packed up

I can't do great things, so I do little things with love.

Re: Anyone else cold?
I feel sorry for you oldfella, but not as sorry as i feel for that monkey 
Re: Anyone else cold?
Sorry about that but I have been sweating all afternoon working in the brilliant sunshine
This morning there was a very slight frost ... faint white patches in the hollows of grass tussocks, but no ice, and the overnight temperature was +4.2c. It's now 12.8c and a very welcomed change from the last 2 months of solid rain every day and I am making the most of it by getting my big greenhouse rebuilt. I dismantled it back in February thinking that I could spend all summer rebuilding it, but on the odd day it didn't rain I had to mow my waist high grass and all the other more important jobs.
Mustn't be too smug though as it's forecast to get colder here by Friday as well.

Re: Anyone else cold?
It seems to have done nowt but rain here for at least 2 months. It's horrid and it's cold - so I've spent all day in my flanalette pyjamas, smuggly poncho and slippers cuddling a hot water bottle!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Re: Anyone else cold?
We had quite a hard frost at the weekend but then back to the quite mild weather. Today was lovely until about lunchtime, however, the wind has changed direction and the temperature has plummeted. My neighbour tells me we in for a cold snap

Re: Anyone else cold?
It got good and cold here last week. My brother lives on the prairies and it was -40 where he was; -50 with the wind chill. Yikes!
We live on the coast, so our climate is more like your British climate. We didn't go below about -5. Still, it was cold enough for long enough to freeze the lakes deep enough for skating. It's warming up again now (+9 right now), but it will be a while before the lakes thaw.
