SteamyTea Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Was showing lower than this when I drove into work. I don't live down here for this sort of thing. Makes this more concerning Last hottest ten years on record have been, the last ten years.
ProDave Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Lightweights. -2 is nothing. That's about the forecast high here for the next few days. Shortly I am off to defrost and sweep the snow off the truck then off for a very cold day trying to recover a stricken yacht off the beach. 1

Just a bunch of fellow sailors helping out, and hope we would similarly be helped if we were in a spot of bother. Boat re floated 4
BotusBuild Posted January 3 Posted January 3 It was cold, but I knew the house was well insulated (no heating yet) when I walked into this morning to start work and my glasses steamed up 2 1

I do, as does a workmate (who had a great fit of it today). Just had a look on Nullschool. Air temp is 6.3°C, sea surface temperature is 11.5°C. We should be pumping seawater as a thermal source for water source heat pumps. Edited January 3 by SteamyTea 1
Omnibuswoman Posted January 4 Posted January 4 @SteamyTea I don’t, but I do get hiccups when I’m hungry!
joe90 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) Started snowing here at 6pm but don’t think we will get any more.Bristol airport suspending flights and several crashes on M4 and other roads nearby, due to turn to rain later in the night. My mate is in .Canada and they would laugh at our .”little dusting”. Edited January 4 by joe90

We haven't had any snow but have had 43mm rain in the last 24 hours. It was 13C when I woke up this morning! My youngest daughter lives in Calgary where the forecast maximum temperature today is -10C. It got down to -30C last year.

joe90 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 No idea, the path is very old and not flat and I think ice has formed in what would be puddles. Certainly no drains.
ProDave Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Lightweights. We have had snow for over a week, hardly worth a mention, -5 last night and won't go above 0 for the rest of the week. and not a breath of wind, but the sun is out. But not enough strength in the sun to do much thawing.

SteamyTea Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 Been in most of the day, I hate the cold. (Did pop out and spend over double on a couple of coffees though)
ProDave Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Yesterday the daytime high here was -5C Next few nights are going to be cold, -20 mentioned as a possibility. Nowhere near that cold yet. I expect when I take my Friday meter readings this might be the coldest week of the year. But toasty warm inside with the stove burning nicely giving the ASHP a rest (not that it needs one)
