Default Damn it's cold!!!

Anyone else having a cold December? The frost hasn't lifted here for about 3 days now. Already this winter I've had to scrape the car more than I did throughout the last 2 winters!! 'twas -5 on Monday morning, -3 this morning with freezing fog thrown in, I was amazed how many drivers had just side lights on even though visibility was less than 100 yards and it still wasn't light yet!

Still I've only 2 more days of travelling, then I'll park the car up with a winter blanket on and spend the following fortnight pissed!

Here's hoping for a white Christmas (can you say that now or is it racist? ) even if it is just due to severe frost

Been cold during the week, but the weekends east herts way have been reasonably mild. No temporary greens so I can still play golf!

Dont wish for snow!!! That will mean I have to spend ALL day on the beer instead of the portion when I am out losing golf *****!

Na that's why they changed the term to 'Climate change' to cover their butts when we do get cold spells.

Just been out to the car and my scooshers have eventually defrosted and that was with screen wash in, going to make it a stronger dose, nowt worse than driving with a filthy windscreen.

Been loving the dog walks, coming home with a numb face lol

As for the driving, I just let the car run for 10 mins before I get in lol

Tis chilly though, but can and no doubt will get a lot colder yet.

@ Dave

Warm is anything above minus 8 degrees ........

minus 3.8 with freezing fog when I left on my bike this morning, that's tropical in my books, had the factor 20 on this morning just to prevent me burning and turning that burnt blue colour
