Crap Weather For January!

[walpurgis]

6C and clear as far as I can tell, still being dark.

Happy New Year! :)

[Barry]

7C and cloudy.

[Macca]

Happy New Year

Going to be sunny this morning once the sun actually comes up.

Rain forecast for later what a surprise that is.

[struth]

bright but cloudy. 5c

[rmcin626]

Dry and bright 6c

[walpurgis]

12C, murky and mild with a hint of drizzle.

[Pigmy Pony]

The wind has gone! Yay! Not too cold either.

[Barry]

11C and raining. :(

[rmcin626]

A damp 5c this morning

[Barry]

Getting quite windy here. Already had a 10 second power cut.

[hifi_dave]

The wind is scary. We have nothing but fields between our house and the wind/gale, so we are open to everything the weather throws at us. The noise is horrendous and we are bound to have some damage even if only another fence.

I am slightly calmed by the thought that the house has been here since 1450 or so and hasn't blown over yet..:eek:

[struth]

weather has been ok here. dampish but was calm. we must have midded the wind this time

[Macca]

tipping down all day, floods everywhere.

Some bloke in a 4x4 drove fast into one then braked hard, the water spout went about twenty foot in the air.

[guy]

Hell of a wind earlier, all seems calm now though - several trees down locally according to facebook

[walpurgis]

8C and murky. At least the wind has died down.

[rmcin626]

A very grey and wet 7c this morning

[Barry]

9C and cloudy.

[struth]

7c and grey.. rain forecast

[Macca]

Rain all day as usual.

[Barry]

Have had occasional rain here all day.

[rmcin626]

Another wet morning and 7c

[struth]

6c and light cloud

[walpurgis]

5C and clear, rain coming later they say.

[Barry]

6C and clear. Expecting rain later.

[Macca]

Dry all day! A bit chilly but no wind so quite pleasant really.

[Barry]

It's wet, very wet!

[Pigmy Pony]

A couple of hours ago we had stars in the sky and almost frosty. Now the bloody rain's back!

[walpurgis]

6c with patchy cloud.

[Barry]

Same here

[struth]

[struth]

[rmcin626]

getting cold now. soon be below 0... hopefully no snow

Dropping here as well but only at 5c so far

[Macca]

Bit chilly here but no wind or rain. Sun was out at lunchtime it was almost a Spring day.

Long way to go to that really though. Just lulling us into a false sense of security then it will hit us with snow and ice.

[walpurgis]

5C and murky.

[struth]

0c still, and dark too.

[rmcin626]

4c dry ,clear and frosty morning

[Macca]

Foggy here and a bit chilly but not desperate.

[Barry]

6C and cloudy

[hifi_dave]

Yesterday and this morning's local BBC tv weather forecast said "now that we are through with the rain, we are having a dry period". The last hour it has been chucking it down. Good ol' BBC weather.

[walpurgis]

5C, clear and cool.

[Pigmy Pony]

White everywhere, -1C right now. But the sun is getting up, so might be a good day for being outside.

[Macca]

what - you've got snow?

1C here but will rise to the dizzy heights of 4C later.

Getting light now about 0740 so in another 10 days or so I will be walking to work in daylight.

[struth]

thought it was snow this morning but just a heavy frost. still -3c and sunny

[Barry]

+3C and sunny.

[rmcin626]

A frosty, foggy 0c this morning

[Macca]

been round the supermarket - it is pretty cold out there. Had to get my winter coat out again.

No, just a lot of frost. I don't mind it so much, you can just add layers. Prefer it to wind and rain.

[hifi_dave]

First day without rain since........a long time ago. Managed to do 1.5 hours gardening which made me feel good.

[Macca]

No, just a lot of frost. I don't mind it so much, you can just add layers. Prefer it to wind and rain.

true - Clearing up I came across one of those heavily padded check shirts that were the fashion about 1990 - don't think I have worn it in 30 years, so I've got that on - really warm!

[rmcin626]

Still 0c no change all day

[struth]

[Barry]

3C and cloudy.

[walpurgis]

3C and cloudy.

[struth]

0c... warmer than yesterday but today's high is 2 apparently

[rmcin626]

1c and dry so far

[hifi_dave]

1c here and snowing..:eek: Not mentioned in today's BBC weather.

[struth]

to hover around -1c tonight so not too drastic. no rain or snow that i can see

[Macca]

Cold all day. Late afternoon a bitter easterly wind started up.

[Pigmy Pony]

I was out in that easterly wind all afternoon, and I will be tomorrow too. But I've got me layers and me woolly hat :)

[walpurgis]

Cold all day. Late afternoon a bitter easterly wind started up.

Yes, hovering around 2C all day so I gave up on the idea of doing anything outside. When it gets above 5 degrees I'll think about it.

[Barry]

We have just had a little flurry of snow.

[Macca]

My mate in London (Herne Hill) told me it was snowing there earlier.

[Barry]

2C and cloudy.

[walpurgis]

2C and cloudy.

Same here.

[walpurgis]

It was snowing very slightly here all yesterday afternoon.

[struth]

1c and cloudy currently although still a little dark

[rmcin626]

2c and dry and a bit of cloud about

[struth]

3/4c and almost some sun; but not quite:)

[rmcin626]

3/4c and almost some sun; but not quite:)

Much the same here

[hifi_dave]

Sunny all day but with a breeze which cuts right through.

Too cold for me to do any gardening today.

[Pigmy Pony]

A chill wind with some nasty gusts that kept moving my ladders sideways. So decided an early dart was the safer option.

[Macca]

sunny but really cold wind.

Bit of warm from the sun but it's still so low in the sky it barely makes it over the buildings.

Tomorrow looks better, no wind and a couple of degrees warmer.

[Pigmy Pony]

Not freezing, no wind, no rain. A non weather day really, but for today's job that suits me just fine.

[walpurgis]

0C and clear. Very nippy.

[Barry]

1C with a clear sky.

[struth]

3c and still darkish but looks cloudy

[rmcin626]

3c and fairly cloudy but dry again

[walpurgis]

Minus one C and clear.

[struth]

3c here. light cloud.

[Barry]

-1C and sunny.

[rmcin626]

Another dry day and 3c

[dave2010]

Dry so far, and around 3 degrees C. Expected to go below zero again in the late afternoon - towards -3 C or lower.

It's been consistently pretty cold the last few days, with knock on temperatures indoors. Much of the water causing icy patches on paths, and sodden lawns has drained off - until the next time!

[Pigmy Pony]

Quite mild and dry (an unusual combination this time of year), similar to yesterday.

[hifi_dave]

2c and dark today so I spent most of the day tidying my demo room which is full of unopened stock.

If you need help opening them, feel free to send them my way :)

[Macca]

cold but dry and only a light breeze. If all winter was like this it wouldn't be so bad.

Going to be stupid cold next week per the forecast.

[Pigmy Pony]

Tomorrow brings us one day closer to spring. That's what I tell myself every day.

[Barry]

5C and cloudy.

[rmcin626]

0c this morning but no frost

[walpurgis]

4C and gloomy.

[walpurgis]

3C and murky.

[struth]

not often its warmer than the south but we have 5c

[walpurgis]

Only a couple of months to spring.

[Barry]

1C and cloudy. :rolleyes:

[dave2010]

4C rising to 5C. Dry and not windy just now. Temperatures likely to take a dive down in next few days.

[rmcin626]

5c and clear this morning

[Audio Al 2]

Sunny here :carrot:

[Pigmy Pony]

Sunny here :carrot:

Don't forget the sunblock Allen, can't be too careful

[Macca]

Sun trying to come out here.

Not to bad really, no wind which helps a lot even if it is only 3C

They keep forecasting snow for next week, then taking it off, then putting it back on.

[Pigmy Pony]

We'll probably just get sleet, or some overnight snow which ruins your morning commute then is gone by lunchtime.

[struth]

a bit of sun here but a lot of light cloud too. still about 5c

[Macca]

We'll probably just get sleet, or some overnight snow which ruins your morning commute then is gone by lunchtime.

That would be par for the course. Happily living within walking distance means I'm unaffected by the inevitable traffic chaos that always results from half an inch of snow.

Actually makes it easier as I can cross the roads at will with all the cars being stationary.

Worst is when it snows just before dark and then freezes. Once had to walk 7 mile home with all the roads and pavements like glass. That wasn't fun. Especially since about half way along I stepped in an iced over puddle. Squished the rest of the way back.

[struth]

colder today.. 1c and cloud

[walpurgis]

3C with patchy cloud.

[rmcin626]

Bright sunny 2c this morning

[struth]

Bright sunny 2c this morning

sun is out here too. still only 1c but might increase now

[dave2010]

Only a couple of months to spring.Roll on!

Today dry, cold, no wind. Struggling to 2 degrees C, and going down this afternoon to below zero again.

[Macca]

Going to be around zero all week here according to the forecast. Warms up again a bit from next Saturday.

Currently no snow forecast. Will be minus 4 at night though. That's properly cold even for round here.

sounds about same as here. to warm up on saturday.

[Mikeandvan]

I'm so glad the rain has stopped, there's still a massive puddle in my local park though, more like a lake now, council don't know how to unblock drains apparently. They'd rather spend my council tax on drug addicts and refugees.

[walpurgis]

Minus one C, clear and very frosty..

[Barry]

Same here!

[Pigmy Pony]

And here, but there's nowhere I need to be, so I've got the gramophone warming up. What to play first?

[rmcin626]

0c and clear this morning

[struth]

-3c here.

[Macca]

minus 1 - although we did get some sunshine

[walpurgis]

Zero here now, it'll be a brisk night.

[walpurgis]

Minus four C and everything is a bit white with frost.

[struth]

-1c here. Snow forecast but none so far, just a hard frost

[dave2010]

Snow on ground since yesterday. Little wind. Below zero just - will perhaps get to zero or +1, then go back down. Visibility moderate - can't see much more than a mile.

[Barry]

0C and sunny.

[struth]

0c now here. snow didnt last long but looks like more later maybe. its got darker. to go down to -6/7c tonight

[rmcin626]

Bit of rain here

[Macca]

snow last night but only about quarter inch. Been cold today but not as cold as yesterday.

Back to double figures by Sunday! But with gale force winds.

[walpurgis]

We'll be digging out the shades, shorts and sun blocker before you know what's happened :).

[Macca]

Not here we won't! Unless we're very lucky.

I wear shades all year round anyway :D

[Pigmy Pony]

An interesting drive to Preston this morning. About 2" of snow here in Chorley, but normally Preston gets less. Not today. It was a lot worse, and if it weren't for the van being auto I'd have struggled with the little roads.

Gonna stay really cold for a couple of days, but apart from taking the Volvo to have Nextbase front & rear cameras fitted tomorrow I don't need to leave the house till Friday :)

[Pigmy Pony]

Not here we won't! Unless we're very lucky.

I wear shades all year round anyway :D

Because the future's so bright probably.

[Macca]

It helps to blot out at least some of the hideousness.

[Barry]

-1C and cloudy.

[struth]

-6c and dark still..

[mikeyb]

-9 here about an hour ago when I defrosted my wife's car.

[walpurgis]

Just below 0C and the sky is a blanket of grey.

[rmcin626]

-2c and dry this morning

[Pigmy Pony]

That's a terrible thing to say about your looks, I think you're quite handsome :)

[Pigmy Pony]

Rained during the night, which will have washed away some of the road salt, then froze. -1C right now. Some of those roads are going to be dodgy.

[struth]

nice and sunny and looks great until you open door lol -4c now

[struth]

4.30pm and mostly still light. shows what a month does.. -2c currently

[rmcin626]

Another similar day -1c and clear skies

[struth]

about 1c currently. had snow overnight.. still dark yet tho.

[Pigmy Pony]

A dusting of snow overnight, fine stuff that feels and looks like white sugar. Which then froze. Cat's decided to stay in and look at it through the window while warming her arse on the radiator. Smart cat

[Barry]

-4C and clear. Sunny but cold.

[walpurgis]

Trent-Mersey canal was frozen over this morning, first time I've seen that since 2011.

4C this morning, balmy by comparison to the last 2 weeks.

up to 8c here too now. rain stopped

[Macca]

Was raining a bit here but seems to have stopped. Need to go out but been putting it off, going to go for it now while it's still thinking about starting up again.

Then time for second breakfast and then mong out with some tunes.

Didn't get up until 0930 - 12 hour kip. Must have needed it.

[walpurgis]

Nudging 8C and brightening a bit.

[Macca]

9C here, like being in the tropics! Heavy rain later ofc. Plus gales. No chance of just having some mild, dry weather and a gentle breeze is there?

Still not complaining I hate all the frosty crap and if outside temp is below 4C my house ceases to function as an adequate form of shelter.

[Pigmy Pony]

Wet and windy now, and it's only going to get worse.

I've somehow got myself roped into fitting some expensive vinyl 'click' flooring in Anita's son's bathroom. On a piggin' Sunday :( Only done it in straight rooms before, never had to negotiate a wash basin or bog. Got just enough flooring for the job as it's not cheap, but I can see an expensive cock-up on the horizon... glad it's not my money :)

At least it's indoors.

[rmcin626]

:) Sounds like you speak from experience there Grant - all good advice, but while I'm already aware of it I still get caught out. Too bloody soft I suppose. And I'm not very good at saying no, if I was a woman I'd probably have 30 kids by now.

But I'm not overly worried, if it all turns to shit I'll be blaming You Tube.

[Lawrence001]

It's easy really you just need an inch of silicone around the edges to hide the mis-sized cuts in the tiles. Just say it's a new technique, that's what the pros do.

[walpurgis]

Brace yourselves, it's likely to be rough. Storm Isha is arriving with lots of wind and rain overnight! Coming from the west and affecting the whole country to a greater or lesser degree. Network Rail Scotland are stopping services from 7pm and ninety mph plus winds are anticipated there.

[Barry]

I'm in Camden/West Hampstead at the moment, and the wind is picking up. Lots of odd thumping and banging noises going on!

[struth]

about 9c, and wet. windy too at gusts up to 50mph currently

[rmcin626]

Very very wet and windy here

[Barry]

Went out a quarter hour ago to do some local shopping. It's quite mild (12C) and you don't notice the wind. But indoors it's a different matter.

[Pigmy Pony]

hope it goes well. toilets and basins are complex. i wouldnt do one...thats what pros are for :eyebrows: but sure youll manage

It was a PITA, and took a while. But ended up pretty good, they were well chuffed with it. Got a free Sunday roast out of it with lemon meringue after. And no washing up :)

That wind really picking up now, might have to stay home tomorrow.

[walpurgis]

BBC News just said there's a possibility of tornadoes. Charming.

[Macca]

BBC been scaremongering about it all day.

[Barry]

BBC been scaremongering about it all day.

They have never got over the business of the hurricane that Michael Fish said wasn't coming, it would only be a storm.

Boy was he wrong: Sevenoaks in Kent should have renamed as "Onlyoneoak" afterwards!

[walpurgis]

8C and clearing, less windy.

[struth]

about 5c, wet and half dark yet.. was a big blow last night:eyebrows: dunno re damage yet

[struth]

Think Scotland got it bad last night especially West side?

yeah north too but pretty much everywhere to an extent. we are in middle so get it from all directions, but often a little less...

[Barry]

8C and partly cloudy. There was some rain last night but less wind than feared.

How have others here fared? Hope there was little or no damage.

[Macca]

A gate blew open that was it.

Seems unnaturally calm this morning.

[rmcin626]

7c and dry just now after a very wet and windy night.

Crashing is just an uncontrolled landing.

[CageyH]

I have been on flights much more exciting, with crosswind landings.
Prestwick was always fun, flying in on a BAe Jetstream, looking out my window along the runway.
The pilot was obviously used to it, as it was a really smooth landing.

[Macca]

Controlled flight into terrain :)

[walpurgis]

Like that German nutter did with his planeload of unfortunate passengers a few years ago.

[struth]

blue sky and sun for now. dont think it will last long as wind is still strong. 80 odd mph wind gust recorded not far from here.

on a plus, got some food delivered there.. last tesco one was cancelled due to web site crash

No idea what it is doing here I shut the curtains an hour ago.

If I had to guess I'd say raining.

Storm Jocelyn was forecast to be less severe than Sunday night was, but not round here - the winds are every bit as bad. There will be some more damage by morning - take care out there!

windy again but not too bad overall given it's still January.

[Pigmy Pony]

Probably the best day weather-wise since before Christmas. Not that it mattered much - apart from nipping out to get a slow puncture on the car fixed and pick up a prescription I haven't left the house.

Gone for four days without blood pressure pills thanks to our worse-than-useless pharmacists (the interior of which resembles a 1970s Russian supermarket).

rained in the night and just started spitting as I was on my way home.

Not too bad, no more cold forecast before next month.

It's a leap year though so Feb one day longer. Why can't they stick the extra day on one of the warm months? And it should be a Bank Holiday as well, you're working an extra day for nothing. What a rip-off.

[Barry]

Why not have 12 months of 30 days each, with 5 (or 6 in a leap year) which are not attached to any month and are treated as public holidays?

Or if you don't like that idea (because 30 is not divisible by 7) then how about 13 months of 28 days, with again 1 or 2 days public holiday(s)?

The problem is our calendar is based on the Biblical number of the days of Creation, and the readily divisible number 12.

I believe after the French Revolution not only were new weights and measures based on multiples of 10 introduced, so too was a proposed calendar of 10 months of 36 days (with again 5 or 6 unattached days distributed throughout the year).

[Macca]

I don't think we have to go overboard. Just make August 32 days once every 4 years and an extra bank holiday once every 4

The French Revolutionary leaders were crackers. Absolutely barking.

No worse than our Imperial system, which because it was based on the length of the thumb, foot and stride of the monarch of the time, changed each time they died and a new one ascended to the throne.

[Pigmy Pony]

No worse than our Imperial system, which because it was based on the length of the thumb, foot and stride of the monarch of the time, changed each time they died and a new one ascended to the throne.

Apparently the tallest British monarch in history was Edward IV, who was reportedly 6' 4". But how can we know that? Were his limb lengths used to determine this, or his successor's? Imperial measure is rubbish. Maybe we dug him up and measured what was left of him.

[walpurgis]

A cool 1C and hazy.

[struth]

7c and bright

[Pigmy Pony]

Another grey day. But not cold, not windy, not wet, so I shouldn't grumble.

[Macca]

5C here but will get a bit warmer. Looks like it will stay mild all week.

Long range forecast suggests we might get another bout of cold weather towards the end of February though.

Then we'll get another load of motorists stuck in snow even though they'll have had a couple of days warning.

Beast from the East was end of February, so plenty of time for it to turn nasty. At least the days are getting longer.

yeah we're not out of the woods yet by a long chalk. Still in January which seems to have been going on forever.

Will be end of February before I'm going home from work in daylight, but it's getting there slowly.

Yeah, January has little going for it. I heard it described on the radio last week as the longest Monday of the year.

Anita came home with hot cross buns yesterday, that seems kind of early, not that I'm complaining.

Easter is at the end of March which isn't that far off - given that Xmas crap now appears in the shops at the end of September and some people put their decos up at the end of October.

Maybe we should abandon months altogether and just have the marketing periods instead?

Christmas - Easter - Back To School - Halloween - each lasting 90 days.

second half of febuary especially looks to be cold with some snow up here. . in fact whole month looks a bit of a washout

[Barry]

It's still January, so let's wait until February starts before we comment on the weather for that month.
