Driving back home at about 9pm this past Thursday felt strange as I could see the last scraps of daylight but the temperature was like winter!

Just been for a walk and the sunny spells felt pleasantly warm, almost enough to make me take my hoodie off!

TheOgre I barely noticed the extra hour of daylight either. Today should be better here as it's turned out partly sunny.

My parents were both declared vitamin D deficient late last year so I assumed I probably was too. Been taking vitamin D supplements since December, think I've got enough to last until late April. Might carry on taking them all year if the dull weather continues! I do find it a bit baffling when some people think suncream is only for holidays abroad! I was in Majorca in the last week of September last year and the UV index got up to 7. My usual Factor 15 twice a day was fine for me as a fair-skinned blonde.

By the end of the century, I'd say very likely!

Yesterday it was sunny or mostly sunny for almost all the daylight hours here. Went for a walk at about 12pm and this was the first walk I've been on where it felt properly spring-like. I was warm enough to leave my coat undone!

Mostly dull and chilly here so far this month.

I went for a walk at about 2pm when it was partly cloudy with a cold breeze, and I could feel warmth from the sun every time it peeked out from behind the clouds. One of the gardens near me has daffodils in full bloom (some growing through gaps in the paving slabs so must mean they were not recently planted!) and I keep hearing a few different bird species joining in with the singing.

Eskimo I thought the same thing when I went for a walk yesterday lunchtime.

I've seen a couple of trees with blossom on them as well as plenty more with buds. A few bird species have started making sounds that remind me of spring!

By the start of March I don't want any snow and want any lingering winter temperatures to go away! Even during winter itself, I only look for cold if it's also meant to be sunny or snowy - not a fan of a cold/cloudy/rainy combination.

Last couple of days have been sunny at sunset here which makes the difference even more noticeable. A great change from dull December!

I'm noticing the slight increase in light levels at 4pm.

Cloud has almost completely cleared here. Car showed 10C - it felt colder in the park due to the wind, but in more sheltered areas it feels more like mid autumn or even early spring.

Fave to least fave... 1. Cold and snowy (also love a crisp sunny day once the snow has stopped) 2. Mild and dry 3. Cold and dry 4. Mild and stormy
