The Cold Haters Club 22/23

[cheeky_monkey]

really cold week this week coming up -35c at night -30c by day.. going to be a real struggle coupled with the levels of darkness at this time of year..so a double whammy of joylessness 

[NEVES SCREAMER]

I'm getting all excited by the GFS 06z. Fri 6th Jan has a breeze coming up directly from North Africa. Fingers crossed.

[NEVES SCREAMER]

Merry Xmas to all the people out there like me who love heat and humidity and hate the cold. And Merry Xmas to everyone else too that may detest heat and humidity and love the cold ! Main thing is. Whatever you do. Enjoy !

Stunning set of 12Zs today. Really exciting watching it all come together. Cross model agreement for mild now.. It's finally here!

[NEVES SCREAMER]

Yes. All you can hope for in the bleak mid winter is loads of SW winds and maybe a temp of about 11c or 12c if lucky. The Atlantic. The Vest From The West !

Wow. Shades of December 2015 on this run - strong Iberian high & stagnant low maintaining the very mild flow. What a Christmas present

You should come back to the barmy uk.

Beautiful looking GFS 18z for 5th Jan with breezes embracing us from the Azores. If only this could last until March.

Almost had a frost this morning, could have been the last one this winter!

[NEVES SCREAMER]

Marvellous looking GFS 12Z for 12th January. Is that a Bartlett High over France? Could it get any better for mid winter? Might have to get the lawnmower out at this rate !!

Always a delight, when you got to the last page of the mad thread 1st thing, and see that the 1st post was 9 hours ago!

8 and a bit weeks till Spring. Counting down each weekend from now on. Gone is the gloom. The light starts to return. The sun gets stronger. Snowdrops. Catkins. Daffodils. Bring it on. 

[NEVES SCREAMER]

I suppose what it means by 'cold'. In winter   whether it is minus 3 or plus 11c . To me it is cold and i am counting it down to March. At least in March the nights are drawing out . At the end it is light until 8pm . Long way to go  but at least December is on the way.

[NEVES SCREAMER]

Looks like the mild wet and windy is to continue for the foreseeable.  I actually don't mind a cold intervention late Jan in to Feb because spring is just around the corner by then and the days are getting longer. I am not quite as fed up as I usually am in November/December/ early January !

Just watching the temperatures going down below what was forecast again. It’s not really got above freezing today.

Yes. I enjoyed the snow, but this spell has long outstayed it's welcome now. Was originally supposed to be gone by Friday and it's still going to be cold on Monday. Ready for some nice mild south Westerlys, but it looks like I'm out of luck!

There’s still a bit of snow on my drive left from Thursday. I hope it warms up soon.

And to me, although a fair bit of ice about tonight!

[alexisj9]

I'm not really a cold hater, but I do hate pointless cold with no snow, or rain instead, line yesterday here. Very annoying. Got fog coming in now, but not even cold enough for a good frost tonight, or not yet anyway.

This cold needs to get lost now

Indeed. A February of nighttime rain and daytime sunshine (and 20C every day) would do me fine... But, then again, so would a repeat of February 1979! 

[*Stormforce~beka*]

I'll take snow or sun. Nothing else please. Preferably above 10c too ...
