Looked out of the window this morning and was dissapointed that there was no snow clouds ..... perhaps the 38c temperature outside had something to do with it.  It's quite toast in Adelaide today?

lucky ####!

32 degrees and thunder here.

Same every day.

I'd love some proper cold; wearing a jacket would do.

Do you live in Darwin?

The weather presenter must have the easiest job in the world.  They just have two lines to say ..... in the dry season they say 'It is 32 centigrade and it is sunny' and in the wet season it is '32 centigrade and raining'.

It was snowing a fair bit coming over Cock Hill tonight and it was settling on the road.

Yeah it’s settling on Cold Edge as well

Wasn't so bad when I was heading over last night. Shortly time to see what it's like this morning.

Easy journey this morning. 1hr 10 mins from Oxenhope to Peckett Well this evening, due to abandoned cars and questionable driving standards following a couple of inches of snow. ???

It’s -2.5c here in glorious Dunfermline. The Travelodge hasn’t gritted the car park and my rear wheel drive car has the grace of Bambi on ice in cold conditions.

I'd say the windchill here is about -18 C and it has started to snow again...nice nippy walk to work today in about -20?

Getting new battery for car today so on foot.

Slight drizzle here, rumours to snow in Copenhagen's suburbs, but who cares about those people?

Nice drive from Teesdale into Upper South Tynedale this afternoon over Yad Moss; a fair bit of snow with the ski centre open tomorrow. Baltic in the house though when I arrived made worse by the heating not working... typical!

Flipping freezing in my flat too, although it could be because when I moved in I put my bookcase in front of the heater, and my DVD's next to. Just gone out to my local BHF shop to buy an electric heater.

Not on these hills in the snow; it's absolutely not Ontario conditions (wet cold makes it feel colder than it is) but the hidden open lead mine shafts are a bit precarious, unless you want to be Bruce Wayne of course.

I'm sure I read or heard once that there's an area of Teesdale that has a sub-arctic climate.

Moor House Nature Reserve to the west of Cow Green Reservoir (to the left of the last picture). This entire area (incl Warcop Military Training) is high altitude wise and very remote for English standards. The stars tonight are pretty amazing on Alston Moor (same sub-Arctic climate where I am) and it’s -8C so again cold for English standards.

I'm a topo map nut  but the red symbol with the dots connected by the broken hache...is that a power/transmission line?...and what is the actual man made boundary that goes through the lake (a different county?)...dendritic drainage pattern so lots of places to guerilla camp without being discovered...that hill in the middle of Dufton Fell (can't quite make out the name) looks like a good place to do yoga/meditate.

Thanks for sharing.
