Cheers Cyrmo, Nadolig Llawen mo chara to you as well!

Is it me or are there more Forum Police than posters in the Model thread this weather?

Anyhow some subtle changes afloat for Mid Jan??

[sundog]

Will be staying with the in laws over the christmas so Happy Christmas to all.

This xmas will of course at this stage be a mild one,well i suppose we cant have a cold xmas every year. But here is to hopefully some good cold weather in Jan or Feb or both.

[gingercat]

Merry christmas to everyone! Its kind of sad that there's no snow this year, but if I am totally honest its been a blessing not to have to worry about travel and transport in the run up to the big day- guess who is driving on Christmas Day lol. Also means that its easier to get out and about to finish those last minute things.

Ive no doubt we will see more snow before the end of the Winter. The spring like atmosphere is deceptive! Dont be fooled.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

[ronan]

Hows it going folks. Glad to be finished work for Xmas! Let the drinking begin. Current temp is 2 degrees with heavy showers of sleet/hail!

[The watcher]

Today hasn't been mild at all but cold with wintry showers around. It's to warm up again however tommorow but get wetter. Signs are encouraging for January Strat wise and I'm sure Mountain shadow will be in and enlighten us more on the situation. We will all have a great christmas regardless of what the weather holds. So from Watcher and family I wish you all a greeeeat Christmas and most excellent new year.

[Rocheydub]

Just to echo that. Happy Christmas and new year to all here on netweather, from the Dub on the thread!!! Have a good one folks, stay safe and hopefully we'll be reviewing colder models as they start down the line, sooner rather than later!

[Juuyoku]

Merry Christmas guys! Hope you all have a good one. Im currently in my mother's. Just demolished an absolute beast of a buffet and now we are all in front of the fire having a few drinks. I hope Santa is good to you all

[ronan]

Happy Christmas to all my Netweather buddys! Santa is a wee bit tipsy! Lol! Ho Ho Ho

[Baltic Regions]

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you all have peace and grace over this holiday.

[stormforce 10]

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Happy Christmas everyone - Santa came with lots of presents despite threats by me to the contary!!

Sit back relax and get a bit fatter over the next few days :smilz38:

[BIG LAD]

its 11.5c outside!,dont know whether to laugh or cry. but anyway a very merry christmas to everyone on netweather.

[The watcher]

Santa made me an uncle for the 5th time on christmas day. Rather than the usual winter sweater I've a t-shirt on today aswell. Best wishes from me and family to all on here.

[Juuyoku]

Awww congrats!

I've been dealing with what I thought was a toothache, but it's looking more like an abscess. At least I managed to wolf down my dinner before it became excruciating (like it is now!)

[mountain shadow]

Happy Christmas!! Sure was mild today if not a little windy.

Things looking up into the second week of January for some snow...........I hope.

[stormforce 10]

happy st stephens day/boxing day!

had a great xmas, a totally indulgent one.

weatherwise, its been awful, gale force winds and constant rain and drizzle. :smilz38:

just remember guys and girls. this time last year, our severe cold spell was coming to an end, with no further cold weather after that.

we still hopefully have our cold weather to look forward to in 2012, january/february.

heads up people, and dont drink too much! you might miss the cold weather.

Congrats Watcher, lovely xmas present!

My sister told me of a weather almanac that says we are to experience temperatures never seen with us in January 2012. Keeping an open (but still slightly dubious) mind on this.

Wild windy the past day or so. On the plus side there is a lot of trifle and only one man for the job!

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

maybe it meant record mild Baltic

Could somebody please come and give me a head transplant

I hope not, but could very well be!

Tis a sad day in the Baltic household..... We are now down to four chickens.

Another has got a gammy leg.

Going to have to get a few pullets in the new year.

[The watcher]

Could be worse baltic, my dad went from 6 to 0 chickens in one day as a fox beheaded them one by one. He at least got the fox. Things are looking interesting for January. I will grant us a brand new thread for January on New Years. Cooler today than of late.

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

Sounds interesting Wathcer would you go with the current thinking of a cool down by the 2nd week of Jan or do you think it will come in sooner than that?

Alright Baltic we lost one chicken in the year when the dog got it it had it in its mouth for one second before I stopped it, the chicken seemed okay but was dead the next morning - I think it died of fright!

[cyclonic happiness]

Aww I hate it when foxes get chickens

We had 12 of them and the fox came one night and killed two, the screaming noises from the hen house were awful and I'll never forget the noise.

The chicken run and hen house are now like fort knox, even we struggle to get in there sometimes, but we havn't lost a chucky for around 8 years now to foxes.

[stormforce 10]

another sunless overcast day, a lot cooler though.

[Baltic Regions]

Does feel cooler outside this evening.

Checked our rainfall total for December so far....... 118mm.
