lol BT you have to be joking, it's 6.5C here and feel freezing cold.

[mandi35]

bit windy here can see trees swaying about wish we could have 1 dry day this week

[SnowObsessor90]

I actually prefer the cold more than snow. I would rather have minus temps all day and night in and frosts rhan see snow all the time. At least then it feels more like it should do.

I'm opposite really, just want enough snow so I can build another Snowman like the last two years lol.

Really dull, dreary day here in Oldham, oh of course it's raining slightly too!

If we didn't get snow I'd be quite happy with frost, just not rain - I hate it!

Don't think we can ever get a day in Oldham without just one drop of rain!

Feels lovely and mild outside with just a moderate breeze.

I have a very high cold threshold, I can go outside in a t-shirt until it's around 2-3C.

[mandi35]

i was out in the -17.5 cold snap in a t shirt i dont feel the cold but i do feel the heat

[AutumnMists]

I feel the cold but it doesn't really hurt or anything

Nothing interesting to report weather-wise, I suspect the regional forums will begin to die!

A similar forecast for Oldham;

Although I do think it is pretty accurate perhaps at the moment, apart from maybe the forecast for Christmas Eve which appears to disagree with the Met office by some 3'C.

I think the rain/snow forecast for the 28th and the 29th is certainly plausible though; especially over the hills.

GFS Showing a brief snow event on friday evening for higher parts of the region

been showing up for the last 2 days..

Weather pretty non descript at the mo, very mild. Love the christmas skin, smart and cosy

[AutumnMists]

GFS continues to show at least some sort of cold around the first week of the new year.

A bit of week consistency but temperatures each run have certainly been below 6'C, the latest run shows a high of 3'C on the 5th of January.

Anyway, Oldham seems to be magically and mysteriously avoiding the rain; for now; as of Midnight.

I'm sure like always the noise of rain crashing on my skylight windows will wake me up before dawn!

[Verglas]

9.9ºc and still rising, drizzle

nearly calm

[Weather-history]

Its two years ago today that we had the snowy Sunday with snow showers rattling through.

Now we've got 10c and milder westerlies. All traces of last Sunday's snow has well and truly dissapeared. Oh well, maybe January/February will have more of a bite this year.

[SparkleS]

Yes its 10c here to, the warm air hits you when you go outside.

[Backtrack]

Up to 11.0C here, feeling very mild.

Oh well, no coat for me today.

Oh Hedgehog, you said RAIN! Naughty list for you then!

Yet another horrible day again! I'm fed up of taking the dog out and sliding in the mud. YUK!
