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

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.

Not often I agree with the banjo strumming Brummie, but Gary 999 is correct 21st Dec is the start of winter up until 21st March....  :o :o
