BE I think you’ll need the heating tonight, it’s gong to be very cold!!
Winter draws on…..
If it’s like today Pete, dry, cold and sunny (most of the day), not too bad
Snowing here in Selby. Don’t forget that as temperatures drop so will your tyre pressures.
Sleet, hailstones, rain, very windy, very cold , wind chill of minus 2 feels like minus 4, slight dusting of snow. What will tonight bring? ☃️❄️
Car well frozen again this morn’, but a dry day, so for me, it’s ok
Winter draws on…..
Sometimes I wish I had a pair, Pete, but I’ve discovered in my time that a pair of tights can be just as effective.
Probably teaching your granny to suck eggs but it’s ten times easier if you cover the windscreen the night before….
The problem is what do you cover it with? If cardboard, you take it off in the morning and a short time later you’ve got a soggy lump of cardboard; if a sheet of plastic, you’ve got cold, wet plastic to store somewhere.
Very cold but sunny here today, not such a good outlook for the weekend though!
Outlook dry here B’, SE 56
Down to 5° already, time to park the car nose in to the barn now, offers a bit more protection from these freezing conditions.

I used to wear ladies tight when fishing from the beach during the colder months.
The best thing to use is an old blanket, it comes off easily and dries out during the day ready for use quicky after.
Last and only time I wore tights, was going through the Canal du Midi in winter, first Wife was along, Her suggestion, surprisingly warm, suppose my hairy legs created a gap, like double glazing
-4 here this morning, heavens knows what it’s going to be tonight. Told the mussus to leave the handbrake off and leave it in gear. last year we couldn’t get her to work coz the handbrake said ‘no’! Cardbaord, newspaper or sheets on the windscreen tonight as well I think. And it’s still only November>….just! As Victor said, “I don’t believe it” Also think I am going to have to get some more wood in. eeck
Nippy down here today too G, same tomorrow apparently – time to move further south methinks !
Mistral Pete, not certain, can be nippy an windy down ‘thurrrr’, and too ‘ot often in summer, last memorable snow, for me Costa del Sol, Costa Brava, South Portugal, often had ice on a bucket of water, left outside there

Icy cold wind today in Devon, me no like!
Hunted out the winter duvet, airing as I type
Had to go up in the grenier and hunt through the many boxes still to be looked at, let alone unpacked, to find the winter clothing, coats, hats & glove boxes!
Well here in the Frozen North we have a lovely sunny day, blue sky and no wind and it’s 8 degs!
