What's Ya Weather At?

[dionysus]

Just curious how it is where you are.
Been an unseasonable..well, season here. Been a fair few bright glorious sunny days, several of rain, and little snowfall. and this is from someone (Canadian) who expects several minus 20s, 30s and 40s yet very nearly had a green christmas (it snowed a smidge the day of) and is currently plus 4.

Pretty sunny-ish here in Scotland, temps in and around the 6-7degrees mark on average.

So, bracing ourselves for the inevitable 2 inches of snow in March that will bring the nation to its feet

Feet? Ffs I don’t know the human body, obviously meant knees

Weird. Been a very dry and mild December, 8-13c most days. Been anti-cyclonic for a long while and will continue into the middle of Jan it seems but not a cold direction, dry and calm, chilly nights and bright days.

Baltic in Scotland @pinnit2014 Maybe in your part it's hot but here it has been between 1-4 degrees for about a week! Today it reached an all time high of 5degrees...

Weird indeed. Not a single day in the minus degrees yet here in Ireland (That I recall). And not a lot of rain either, in fact I can only recall 2 days of rain in December.

I think it's usually late January we start to see the balls froze off weather, but for some reason I'm anticipating it not even being very cold this winter at all.

You tight buggers'll have to get that heating turned on now....

Been really mild here in Glasgow for time of year. Lol still keep hearing it's meant to be one of the coldest winters.

Can not wait till we get a couple of inches of snow and the buses and trains go off yet again and where i stay the cars keep getting stuck.

 

[dionysus]

I'm used to at this point, layering up and trudging out with the dogs, cursing them and everything and whining my face hurts
I just went out to the store just now and could have gone in my tee

 

[homerbert]

Snowy, -7c . Winter just started, but I dream about summer already =/

Live in old style housing @dunover it has storage heating in the living room and the hall ways only. Extremely badly designed. Would cost me a fortune to get heating installed in every room. Or even just the bedrooms. . I could of course sit in the living room but the internet is poor in there because of the design of my place.

Freezing blumin cold but THANKFULLY, no snow!

I bought several attractive looking electric fireplaces - it definitely knocked hundreds off my heating bill since I now basically only heat the room I'm in rather the house and areas not needed.

Did similar about 2 years back

Did a "deal" with our local hardware store and got 4 Electrical "put anywhere" type heaters, guzzle the electric but save a fortune in gas.

Trouble is it seems that I didn't get quite a good deal as I first thought as only one of the 4 works to this day lol

Or 2 snowflakes for those living down south

About 6-7 here for past few days, Xmas day was 12 degrees and sunny. Had the odd shower but no heavy rain, and no frost since a few weeks ago.

30m cable and a wheelbarrow. Take that heater with you from room to room as you stroll around the house...sorted!

or bring the laptop and good to go

 

[bebo67]

Yep, it's been a mild winter, but fret not it will come to the -30's in a couple of weeks. It always happens on my birthday. Huge snow storms.

you dont have to share, but I forget whereabouts you are in ON (Barrie area here), and ya, it'll happen - other side of the lake is already getting their minus 30s

Down on the southeast coast it's been cold, a frost from mornin till lunch for days with spots of rain, finally had some sun today and used the small window to paint the front steps. Appparantly after touching the steps and not getting paint on his fingers about 4 hours after I'd painted it, my neighbour obviously thought it would then also have no problem withstanding his power stomping lard ass.

My place had those storage heaters. Would store all the energy overnight with cheap electric, but useless when it gets colder as they used to run out early evening and would cost a bomb to switch on.

I did what others have said and got those posh looking electric fireplaces now and just heat the room I'm in

Weather wise Out in the sticks SE UK. down to about 2 tonight

Get yourself an electric oil radiator.

Our Central Heating broke last year (during the beast from the east!) and I bought a couple to use until it was fixed. They get super hot and keep warm for ages (mine also have a timer so can set them for when I actually need it). Ours are also on wheels so you can move them from room to room easily.

I remember the pain of storage heaters from my flat at uni - my flatmates banned me from using my convector as I used up all of the electricity card in one day!

Yeah, I get you as my house is an older one and is installed with gas warm-air heating which is very efficient, but it doesn't have an outlet in one of the bedrooms, or the upstairs toilet. Many a time in winter I've sat on the throne up there and been reduced to a golf ball and cocktail sausage by the time I leave....

35 - 40 degrees C every day 7/365 and a quick shower/thunderstorm in the afternoon - 9 out of 10 days.

Currently, rainy season so can be a longer shower / thunderstorm or more than one.
