WBSH

It's very mild, but not unusually so. Temperatures in the high teens even low twenties do happen in winter around the Eastern seaboard. They are ususally short warm bursts and you can find the temperature can drop to minus figures suddenly in a week!

Now can we have some snow like that up here along the meridian roughly between 50-60N? ... no?? Nice pics

Weather: Windy with alternating showers and clear spells. Temperature: 6.7c Wind: WSW 18mph Wind gust: 29mph Pressure: 1013 falling

Problem is WIB, even if the next 10/20 years were to end up warmer than the last, a common believe that may still prevail is that "the world goes through warming/cooling cycles anyway and this is just a warming one" ... Whether that belief is valid is an entirely different topic altogher though. So from what I gather 2006 looks set to be warmer than 1998?

Weather: Hold on to your hats folks, the wind is really blowing out there! Temperature: 10.9c Wind: South at 24mph Wind gust: 40mph Visibility: 15km Pressure: 1007 falling

Yes, it is a trend I have noticed as well, also the same goes for cold spells with N'ly + E'lys always starting towards the end of the month for the last few years. Such examples include: Feb 06: No lying snow for my location sadly, but very cold with lots of snow showers which lasted untill early March. Dec 05: 2" from an Atlantic front hitting cold air on the 29th/30th. Nov 05: No snow, but some biting N'lys at the end of this month after a warm autumn. Feb 05: A remarkable spell of snow for SE especially that started in Late Feb and carried on towards mid-March and dumped 15cm of snow in Kent during it's peak. Dec 04: Some snow around Xmas, although I don't remember where! My area was cold and very frosty with mins of -5c on boxing day morning. Feb 04: Although my memory is little rusty, I remember western areas getting quite a bit of snow at the end of this month. None for me but cold. Jan 04: Thundersnow on the 28th Jan 03: 30th saw sudden blizzards that night. My memory is not crystal clear so I may be slightly off with some of these "facts" and also most of it is just what I remember for my area.

The daffodil and snowdrop bulbs are poking through the ground! That does happen in December but still this is quite early and their quite obvious… especially the daffodil bulbs which I planted back in the autumn… and they ARE daffodil bulbs. Some people at college didn’t believe me when I said that daffodil bulbs can start “coming out” in December. Okay I should have said “poking through the ground” but I put their lack of beliefs down to the fact that they have been working in offices all their lives and have never been up close and personal with nature like me, because if they had, they will know that although daffodils don’t flower this early, they do start to come out of the ground, especially if it’s been warm the last few winters. The problem is that people associate daffodils with March and April when they show their beautiful yellow golden flowers off to the world! But the real gritty work starts winter when those green spikes start appearing on that chilly, darkened earth. Although the ground is obviously not chilly right now! I even have weeds growing back...

At last the frost came! (Down to 0.1c 32f last night) So what a bummer then that it was Saturday and I only saw it after looking through my steamy window with my half open misty eyes before going back to sleep! This was around 7am. It was a shame the frost didn’t come on a weekday as I would have been able to walk and take pictures before getting the bus! Still a lovely day followed and I managed to pot up three baby Algarve americana that were joined on the big one, which is getting so huge now! I want to cover it up now that it is getting colder but it’s too big for any fleece plus I’m not sure it gets affected by the cold that much anymore!

Which two Octobers were warmer than the one just gone? I would have a bet that they were the Octobers of 2001 and 2005??
