A remarkably mild last day of 2016 here in the Pennines, with the temperature steadily in two figures all day - I was even able to put the windows on ventilation to clear out the old air ready for the New Year. A very pleasant end to a tumultuous year - with luck, a foretaste of the peace and calm I wish for everybody on the Forum throughout 2017.

The cold front sweeping down from the north has just passed through, with a gust of wind or two, darkening skies and quite heavy rain, and from the fact of the windows now steaming up, I would say the outside temperatures must be taking a tumble from the 10 C at midday. BBM might see the South Downs looking like a Christmas pudding, covered with snow, by bedtime!Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View PostComment

Likewise here in the Pennines - but a marked drop in temperatures from the past couple of days; the frost hasn't cleared. (This happened last week, with a very mild Christmas day & Boxing Day followed by really cold, frosty few days following.)Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View Post[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

Freezing here too.
Removal men in, so house doors have been open since 8 am.
Not worth having the heating on.
At least it's not raining.Comment

Ah! You know what they, Pulcie! Move in rain, move again! Glad it's sunny for you today! York, one of my favourite places.
BTW, PUlcie, and anyone else, in York Minster, there is a chapel dedicated to the either Yorkshire Volunteers or The famous Green Howards Regiment. My late uncle instigated this.Don’t cry for me

Thank you: are you a resident there?Originally posted by vinteuil View Post
I do too! There is a little beck nearby, but we're quite a bit higher, and the estate is supposed to be 'managed'; there are artificial lakes to regulate the drainage, I understand.Hope you're well away from any flooding risk....
I would if I knew her.Give my love to Delma
Is there something I should know, or is this as cryptic as one of the Alphabet Association posers?Comment

... not a resident - but it's a city I like a lot.
You will find Delma to be a force to be reckoned with - the prime mover of the York Early Music Festival and the National Centre for Early Music

The Civic Trust (or some such group: York Preservation Society?) is a similar force to be reckoned with, I hear!Comment
