[Have you turned your heating on yet?]

Had to put it on for an hour or so this morning.  It was 12 degrees inside when I got up.

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Snowing very lightly here. We've had some overnight. Cars and roofs are white, paths and roads are wet. 

 

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Throwing it down here now.  With rain

Think it still good chance early hrs tomorrow...

I hope you're right

Had some rain here this morning.  As much as I'd like the snow to get me out of going to the office on Wednesday, I think rain is as much as we'll see

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

About 2-3 inches here. I opened the door for the cats, but the big old boy didn't fancy it. Silly little hasn't been in the snow before, so took some tentative steps in my footprints, then went back inside. 

They're both shouting at me to be let outside again. Idiots. 

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Stopped here now. Looks like 2-3 inches 

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Fog has cleared here now. It's currently - 4.8°.  I've got frost covered spiderwebs on the windows and tree that is so frost covered, it looks like a fake, white one

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Dead on - 5 here at the moment. The cats shouted at me to go outside, then refused when I opened the window. Sensible. 

[SE, London & EA - Weather Discussion]

Had to scrape my car leaving the office at 5 last night, then again 3 hours later.  Got down to -3 here. 

In most years, I'd be enjoying the cold weather but this year, if I must have the heating on, it should really do the decent thing and snow, otherwise it can go back to mild.

[The changing daylight hours thread]

My lights come on automatically at sunset, we'll, whatever the Philips Hue app decides is sunset. 

I've been noticing them coming on earlier and it was half 7 last night. 

[Does the possibility of a cold winter this year worry you?]

I've built up a fair bit of credit already, so I'm hoping that, plus the grant will see me through. 

The house I rent is so poorly insulated that itl have to be a seriously mild winter for me to not need the heating. 

Ideally, it would be 15+ all winter, apart from Xmas Eve to 2nd January, when it snows

Just up the road near Colchester, ramped up in the last half an hour.  Genuinely quite worrying, my house is ancient - That goes either of 2 ways, it’s been here for 350 years and survived worse, or it’s old and frail and half of it will end up scattered across the village..  

 

 

I'm in the same boat here in Braintree.  I'm hoping the former applies, as my entire upstairs is the loft space of this 200+ year old converted barn.

looking pretty nasty out there tomorrow afternoon round these parts - I think the black line could be a predicted sting jet? 

I hope not, I'm right under that

If it snows half as much as it's rained, I'll be laughing. Been coming down most of the day

Latest from the bbc... darcy has the ‘potential’ to clip the far SE corner. 
 

if this goes tits up, I truly give up. 

Wouldn't be the first kick in the balls I've received from Darcey. My daughter did it a few months ago

Rain and temperature (3c) have been constant all morning.  Dew point has dropped to 2c in the last hour, though

Tiny bit of snizzle in Braintree. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't gone to my car.
