It did, I found it a bit nippy in just a t-shirt.

I like watching tornados.

judging by outside summer has arrived. But... it's only February.

Dougella · #**2103** 19th February 2023, 13:37

^ Spring maybe!

It's lovely out

Well it was if I hadn't spent 30 mins trying to get (drive) out of my village.

It's getting beyond a joke now.

Gonna take the dog for a nice relaxing walk in the sunshine with not a car in sight

It was. I've spent the last couple of days shredding papers that we collected over the years. Pretty depressing. I spent ten minutes or so in the communal garden for some air and time out.

Screw these cold mornings. I'm here with a hot water bottle at 9am... Next year I'm getting a place with damn double glazing.

Ronnie_Pickering · #**2107** 6th March 2023, 09:58

booo snow on the way

SpectralOwls · #**2108** 6th March 2023, 10:24

I don't think we're getting snow or anything here, but holy cow it feels so cold. I just want the freezing weather to stop so I can garden again!

Consolida · #**2109** 8th March 2023, 10:46

It's snowed here.

Counterpoint · #**2110** 8th March 2023, 11:02

Just opened my curtains. It's so beautiful I'm going out for a refreshing run. Not sure there's enough to make a snowman though...

biscuits · #**2111** 8th March 2023, 18:52

It's been snowing on and off round here today. Brrrr.

Mr. Nobody · #**2112** 8th March 2023, 21:17

It was -8 this morning when I was heading out to work,...eventually.

My kitchen door was frozen solid, so it took me ages to get out of the house,
When I eventually did manage to get out, my car was SO cold, it wouldn't even start,
I had to pour buckets of hot water over the bonnet to try and warm the engine enough to allow it to start.

Urgh,. I hate trying to get out and about when it's this cold,
But it looks good, plenty of sunshine and clear blue skies.

biscuits · #**2113** 8th March 2023, 21:23

^ woah! Scotland is extreme!

Has your front door ever been frozen shut before? Imagine having to call up work to say you can't go in today because you can't open the front door.

Dougella · #**2114** 8th March 2023, 23:21

^^ And there is the reason Scottish people are so strong. Us soft southerners would definitely given up and not left the house in those conditions!

Where I am we've had nothing but a tiny bit of sleet.

I'm quite handy, so I screwed a big pull-handle onto it and got both hands on it and kept pulling till it finally opened,

it happened last time the temperatures went into minus 8 or 9 so I had an inkling it was going to happen again.

I managed to finagle a big strong pull-handle from my workplace the day before ,

What.the.heck is this weather?!

Dougella · #**2117** 10th March 2023, 10:21

^ Apparently it's name is Storm Larissa

Rocket Spud · #**2118** 10th March 2023, 10:27

There's a storm.... ? I'm looking outside and it barely looks breezy.

Ronnie_Pickering · #**2119** 10th March 2023, 12:43

Larissa- interesting. At 4am it was definitely stormy! But yep calm as anything now.

Dougella · #**2120** 10th March 2023, 14:32

We've had rain, then snow showers, then sunshine and now back to cloudy here today.

SpectralOwls · #**2121** 10th March 2023, 18:19

Hah same here. ^

It's so chilly!! I'm waiting for the freezing to stop so I can plant stuff in the garden.
