happy days.

Rained today here but put on some waterproofs and carried on regardless. Rain all next week forecast with the exception of Tuesday, looks like I will be wearing waterproofs again if needs must. Those of you who normally have the odd days off when it's raining for fear of customers moaning about window cleaning in the rain.......will you be working if it's raining as it's the last week before Xmas????

I was thinking that today.
The Express had this week as sub zero and 90mph wind.
Today-clear sunny sky, still as a mill pond.
9 degrees. It was lovely!

I agree, Autumn has been lovely so far. 12 degrees today.
However Winter doesn't officially start for another 2 weeks yet and this year we had frost as late as early May.

Good point.
Last year, here we had snow in 7 consecutive months.
October through March inclusive. Obviously not non stop.

Your right, but it sure feels better having frosts in March, April and May because you know the summers coming

the end of march this year here in birmingham

Even if it goes tits up Jan Feb and March next year, it's not 'the worst winter for 100 years' like these twats said it would be.
We've been out in T-shirts. In December! In Scotland FFS!

Errrr nope. The good news is that midwinter is on the 21st December so we're almost at the half way point.
-
I have always used 6 weeks before Christmas and 6 weeks after as my goal for getting through the winter.
It not always the coldest period but they are the shortest days.
2 weeks into feb and everything looks better.

Errrr nope. Winter STARTS on 21st December and lasts for 3 months. Check your facts matey.

I have matey. Midwinter is the 21st December, the shortest day of the year. Mid winter hence the middle of winter...
However, as has been mentioned before some folks around the world consider this to be the start of winter. It depends on where you live.

I don't know where you are, but I'm in the UK, so my posts are generally about the UK, not Australia.
In the UK, December 21st is the first day of winter, not midwinters day. The first day of winter also happens to have the least daylight.

midwinter as said before is a cultural event..it is the midpoint
between light and dark at the winter solstice, and was a traditional celebration which
had its roots in when winter started around this point,livestock
that were not expected to survive the winter would be culled
with the glut of extra food they used to have the celebration of rebirth
not really connected to the actual seasons as we see them now
if 21st of dec is mid winter...when did winter start...maybe after 21st of
june when the nights start to draw in, doesnt make much sense as thats
the start of summer.
like you said it depends where you live....and as we live in the uk
winter starts officially on the 21st of december ;D

Deeegee is 100% correct.

I class Nov to Jan as winter as Feb weather starts improving. Worst 2 months are Dec and Jan as a rule. Late autumn never really feels like autumn, more like winter and late winter I class as early spring going by the better weather. Don't judge the seasons by calendar dates but by how bad or good the weather is as a rule.
-
most summers going by what you said above should be renamed
winter then ;D
-
February seems to be the driest month as a rule, and some springs are better than some summers. Autumn tends to be a bit of a let down and sept/ oct tends to be ok
-
obviously must depend on the area of the country you live in
i generally find autumn sept onwards the best and jan and august
the worst both financially and weatherwise :)

August has been for many years the best for money (by a long way) and weather for me
-
Wiki's description makes sense - in the Northern Hemisphere the months with the coldest ave temps are Dec/Jan/Feb.
Meteorological winter is Dec/Jan/Feb
But due to "seasonal lag" caused in part by having the relative warmth of the sea nearby" - in Britain the coldest weeks are usually after the solstice and so the coldest point is often mid - late January. (Just as in summer the hottest point is usually the last week in July or 1st week in August.
