  1. It was the worst of all time from a cold perspective.........we had none! Until last year I had never gone a winter without seeing a snowflake. I thought it impossible......surely over the course of 5 months (Nov - March) we would have at least a few hours of favourable conditions for snow even in the worst winter. Well last winter showed me how dire things could be.
  2. A frost and a snow shower would make it a better winter than last year here.
  3. I went to York in 2004 - 07. These were awful for snow in a city widely regarded for its cold winter weather. Shame I didn't get to go later in 2010 when the Ouse was frozen solid for most of December and they had a sack full of snow.
  4. Dry and very cool here this morning. Was down as low as 4.7c at 6am. 5.7c when I left the house at 7am.
  5. Good to see this thread back. As has been said many times before if you don't agree with it simply don't read it
  6. September is Autumn - we have three weeks left of summer
  7. First proper night tonight where we have a period of complete darkness with no twilight in London.
  8. Playing around with the clock does not alter the total amount of daylight. Personally I find the current system fine. Unless you alter the earth on its axis you will always have 8 hrs of light in mid winter and 16hrs in high summer. 16 - 8 = 12hrs average. A fair compromise in a 24 hr day between lovers of light and darkness.
  9. Wooooooooooooooow! Cracking storm! Some of the best lightning I have seen in this country. Very close strikes here....lots of cloud to cloud and ground. This was not even expected!
  10. 25C upwards is too hot for me. In terms of cold - I have yet to reach a too cold threshold.
  11. Just been checking out civil, nautical and astronomical twilight times. 21st July is the first day of true darkness here. Does anyone have any decent websites giving more information on this? I use timeanddate at the moment.
  12. My house was built in 1914 and is not the best insulated. It just struggles to cool down in south London after a warm day - you guys up north are very lucky! July last year was just horrible for sleep.
  13. Struggled to sleep last night - room would not go below 24c even with the windows open. Just feel very lethargic at the moment!
  14. The month has not seen any very warm days though - 24 / 25c etc. To me it has seemed fairly average, we have just had no cold spell to offset the mild temps and result in a lower average.
  15. No thanks - the inability to sleep is not wanted by me. It was too hot in the SE, probably ok in NE.
  16. Yes Tim - I skied borovets last year this very week and it was very good. This year it looks awful! Enjoyed Bulgaria but it does not compare to the Alps..... even with lots of snow the piste preparation is a little lacking.
  17. Hottest October day on record.....how could you forget that
  18. I have not even seen sleet. This winter has been about as bad as it could possibly get - I just want to put it all behind me and move on!
  19. Do you think summer skiing would be possible Firefly given the amount of snow? I assume a bumper year for snow patches is a distinct possibility?
