How's your weather?
Re: How's your weather?
Yes NA the weather forecast is up the left.
Here it's sunny but there was a hard layer of frost on the roads -- melted by some badly needed rain.

Heavy rain (97% chance "you don't say?") and a moderate breeze.

Suppose I'm 30 miles from the actual Border (England/Scotland), but too cold/icy for a ride :yesterday. Superb day of blue skies & sun, but slips on pavements/being obliged to walk the grass verge instead convinced me it was too icy (Nb. Not looking forward to the rain - but the fact that the temperatures will be 8 degrees warmer today, is welcome)VinceLedge wrote: ↑10 Dec 2021, 9:36am Beautiful cold (3c) day here in the Borders , off for a 40miler with a pal shortly, give the ice a chance to melt on the roads first!

I decided best on the static bike for now -- a slip on the ice could mean another hospital stay --- NO TO THAT !gbnz wrote: ↑11 Dec 2021, 8:36amSuppose I'm 30 miles from the actual Border (England/Scotland), but too cold/icy for a ride :yesterday.

We went about 1030 and the sun and the road salt had got rid of most of ice, it didn't feel too cold in the sun either!gbnz wrote: ↑11 Dec 2021, 8:36amSuppose I'm 30 miles from the actual Border (England/Scotland), but too cold/icy for a ride :yesterday.

I ride and drive regularly on both the Scottish and English sides of the border - road salt must be a rare commodity south of the Border.VinceLedge wrote: ↑11 Dec 2021, 9:21amWe went about 1030 and the sun and the road salt had got rid of most of ice, it didn't feel too cold in the sun either!gbnz wrote: ↑11 Dec 2021, 8:36amSuppose I'm 30 miles from the actual Border (England/Scotland), but too cold/icy for a ride :yesterday.

SBC are pretty good at getting the roads gritted, to be fair.

Re: How's your weather?
Weather today here is damp, cold, grey and miserable.
Funny how the forecasters don't say that.

+ 1.(Didn't/haven't you had broken ribs? ). Haven't done my ribs since August '20 now, but had too many ambulances in past 3 years, so more care required!
Re: How's your weather?
Having looked at the Met Office website this morning ........ we are in The Tamar Valley Mining District .......... at 9/10am they showed that it was 10degC and a bit of a breeze.PDQ Mobile wrote: ↑11 Dec 2021, 11:54amWindy. com says you should be into double figures.
Valley effect?
Stagnated cold air lying?
The BBC website lists us as Tavistock and at 10degC with a moderate breeze.
My plan was to go for a bike ride to Tavistock including a 20mile circuit.
Got Moulton out and left it outside whilst I got my stuff together. I noticed the outside temp was 4degC and it was damp, grey, miserable and not a breath of wind. Foggy and misty in "The Tamar Valley Mining District".
I gave up as it was horrid out there and brought the bike back in as it had started to rain.
I still needed to go into Tavistock, so I took the car.
In Tavy, it was cold and damp and grey and miserable. Not a breath of wind. Car showed the outside temp as 6degC.
Outside here as I type, it is now 10degC and not a breath of wind. It is still damp and grey and miserable and misty.
Met office say this.

Re: How's your weather?
Here outskirts of Taunton its 10 deg C outside but only 8 deg C in our unheated annexe. That seems to stay at 8 deg C regardless.
Stove is warming up our sitting room presently 19.8 deg C.
Its damp and a bit dismal

Re: How's your weather?
Still rather damp, drear and mild than the violence of the present USA weather.
Scary stuff. Especially on a bike.
The temperature gradient across the active front is/was extraordinary.
Florida was in the mid 20c degrees and the central states something like minus 5c.

Re: How's your weather?
Yep -- and with the hospitals so stressed or maybe to get that way in a few weeks I wouldn't want to be there. There was a covid scare the time I was in and 6 nurses had to isolate. A couple of nurses from near the border arrived to replace them. Not to mention the fear of covid itself especially since breathing was a challenge already.

Re: How's your weather?
Unusual low cloud/fog being pushed along by a S breeze this morning in North Wales. Sun is forecast to appear later...we will see
