[jec]

not too bad up here, I've got me thermal vest on today under my jumper, very fetching

[walkie]

I'll be a lot warmer once me thermal balaclava arrives

I reckon its been warmer oooop North (well Blackpool) this year.

[Kandy]

Current Aviemore +6.6, Shoreham (sussex coast) 0.1!

Soft balmy northern bar tenders!

Met Office: UK: Latest observations

Groan!

Apparently it's 5 C here but it feels a lot colder. My hands were blocks of ice after playing with my camera at lunchtime. It was -1 on Shap yesterday.

[ScoobyChris]

0 deg C when I got in the car at lunch time, but now warmed up to 4 deg C allegedly :confused:

Same...............................:D:D

And BTW, on Saturday it was 0C in Stirling, in Inverness (150 miles north) it was 5C :(:(:confused::confused:

It's bleeding cold down here today and the fog hasn't lifted at all. Couldn't believe the amount of idiots on the road with no lights on whatsoever. Visibility was shockingly low at times and certainly a lot less than 100 metres at all other times

[tdirob]

I had to explain it to the people at work.

I couldn't decide if they were very slow or I'm a bit twisted to get a joke like that:confused:

[Powerhungry]

i've had to explain it a few times. wasted joke.

[Armegatron]

Bit of a tasteless joke like.

Anyway, it was minus 0.5 according to my trip comp today. Quite nippy:(

Was going to get train to metro center but a few lines were closed

[devonutopia]

@ the joke - Apparently it ranks as the "worst" in quality out the lot....

And for the record, it was -3 when I drove to work this morning, so even us southerners felt the chill this morning...

[pinklizzi]

Joke was pathetic and insensitive IMO

Yup it's been bloody freezing - my car was like an iceblock this morning:eek: as my mum would say 'it's too cold for snow...' LOL...hmm.. never got that comment

doh! must be a bit slow and not even had a beer as an excuse:eek:

[Moose]

Hoho.

I was driving from Gatwick area, which wasn't too bad, even Heathrow was ok, but M40 around Oxford was a bit cold! I actually had frost forming, while driving, on the wing mirrors

...as my mum would say 'it's too cold for snow...' LOL...hmm.. never got that comment

Not sure I do either. Perhaps post it as another "Reasoning thread", question, i.e. do clouds freeze so unable to release raindrops? I guess there'll be some logic behind your mum's comment.

On topic, I dug my gloves out, but as it's not cold in the house, I keep forgetting to take them with me :mecry: 'Tis cold in South London today - Brrrrr.

I believe if you are standing outside in the cold, a baked potato holds heat in your pocket (like the Victorian handwarmers used to).

It's not because it's too cold to snow, it's because as it gets colder, the air can't hold as much water vapour, so the air is drier

A bit of science here

I can reassure from when I've been climbing in the Cairngorms in February, it never seems too cold to snow.
