The Torygraph is claiming the same thing on the grounds that it's unusually nippy for the time of year in Siberia.

See? No such thing as global warming!

Hurricane Patricia sure is getting turned on by those warm El Nino waters

I really am not enjoying this current weather. It's as damp as a usual autumn and so grey but with the warmth of an Indian summer. I hope it changes cos if it stays like this all winter it's going to be horrible. Grey, muggy, damp, mouldy and probably unrideably windy.

The last time we had a November like this my rose started budding again. It didn't get a chance to flower coz it snowed, and the wind turned to the east. And stayed that way 'til the following April. The ice on the ground didn't disappear 'til March. I really hope we're not in for another one of those.

I didn't know you played that game?

According to the Whitehaven News website , today's forcast is 'Spotty Showers'. Sounds far nicer than Scattered showers for some reason

Are you trying to get a weather thread moved to POBI?

'Spotty' Showers sound vaguely like a Chap from a PG Wodehouse novel.

I appear to have committed to riding 78km into a 28mph headwind tomorrow. Over the fens.

Note: I am not teethgrinder, there may be tears before ~~bedtime~~ beertime.

Snowing on Tan Hill yesterday, apparently. And in Richmond.

Looks like Egremont is getting very wet. I wonder what it'll be like when I try to get home tomorrow $:-\$

Windy today. Our 0.5-timbered house works like a ship in the hard gusts. Had a good sway just now.

Had an 15" dia fully loaded plant pot blown over last night.

Storm Abigail upgraded to “normal Hebridean weather”

Think it's been a bit wet round here -

I ended up doing a detour on the way home this morning as the A66 is shut because of a landslide. At one point I had to turn around as a fast flowing river a good 20m wide and 3+m deep was flowing over what's usually the road to Uldale! Borrowdale was completely cut off this morning.

Egremont has not flooded as feared, but the river is very high.

Last night saw the lowest November temperature since I started keeping records five years ago, and only the third November frost. -1.1 deg C according to the machine on the roof.

T42 · « **Reply #117 on:** 22 November, 2015, 07:38:01 am »

Nothing much here yet - rime up on the forest ridge behind the house, everything pale grey. Might take a toddle later.

SteveC · « **Reply #118 on:** 22 November, 2015, 12:07:49 pm »

Had to scrape the car windscreen coming home from a gig last night. -1ºC at half-past midnight.

No frost here but the varsity* have salted all their roads.

*I'm told some people object to big school being referred to as uni.

It has snowed overnight the last 2 nights here. I wore my winter cycling tights for the first time this year today. I was too hot, so they obviously require sub-zero temperatures.

cycleman · « **Reply #121 on:** 22 November, 2015, 06:46:13 pm »

Frost down here in Slough last night and the bottom is supost to fall out of the thermometer tonight as well ☺

Pingu · « **Reply #122 on:** 04 December, 2015, 09:23:22 pm »

Icy this morning, really feckin' windy tonight.

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #123 on:** 04 December, 2015, 10:29:16 pm »

It's really quite blowy.

Mrs Pingu · « **Reply #124 on:** 04 December, 2015, 10:41:48 pm »

It certainly is. You can tell how windy it is cos yr.no says 'near gale'.
Yr.no are the masters of windy understatement. Yr.no says 'breath of an angel' when I say too feckin windy to cycle!
