Well we already are getting it. But "fortunately" the airstream gets warmed up crossing the North Sea, thus accounting for much higher temperatures here than on the Continent. Still, my heart went out to the little Romanian woman with the freezing hands selling The Beeg Eeshoo outside Saint Spree's this morn.Originally posted by mercia
As predicted, it looks as though the weather will be back to normal wet-and-windy by Sunday!Comment

Indeed, the Met Office say Milder conditions are likely to arrive from the northwest during Saturday and Sunday (with a snow risk expected during the transition), but with temperatures likely to rise above threshold values in all regions thereafter To be fair, compared to last Winter when we were constantly around -8 and a low of -13.7 this one has been positively balmy!! We shouldn't complain. We got to 4 degrees yesterday afternoon, today it's only climbed to 2.4 so it's a warming veggie curry and spicy dhal this evening!Comment

Mild temps seem to be entrenched here...mind you, I'm not complaining! Tomorrow is Groundhog Day (and Candlemas) so we'll have to see what Punxsetawny Phil (the Pennsylvanian Groundhog) has to say about the longevity of winter. Today it was mild and sunny again after brief showers in the morning.Comment

Absolutely beautiful day here in London - with the atmosphere clear as a bell, features on Highgate Hill likewise through binoculars, 12 miles to my north, and just a few fair weather cumulus to the south, if only this were June or July!!! Deceptive, of course, given that the shade temperature is still a degree below freezing and there appears to be quite a breeze.
The official forecasters are still hedging bets on whether the milder air will break through to this side of the country on Saturday, or then be pushed back westwards; and so am I, for the time being.

Here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, one word describes the winter so far. BIZZARE!!
This has to be the first year in ages, we've had NO major snow of any accumulation and when it does snow, it doen't last.
Now that said, north of the city has been normal in many ways.
Yesterday topped out at 9 degrees C here, I went to work with a t-shirt on.
I am developing a theory that because of all the construction of hi-rise condos, a micro climate is developing. Everywhere you turn another 50 storey building is going up
A few years back in 2004, I remember waiting for a bus for HALF AN HR at -37 degree windchill.
Last year around this time I went down to my partner's in Ohio and came back from Cleveland to Erie PA with a miserable freezing rainstorm. That was a fun bus trip..
It IS Groundhog day here and the Canadian rodent DIDN'T see his shadow, so an early spring. That said, Environment Canada was stating a warm February anyway, thanks to El NinioComment

The Washington Post says Punxsetawny Phil predicts another 6 weeks of Winter for you marthe! (Of course it's all just a bit of silliness, do any of the predictions come true?)Originally posted by marthe View Post
When I left the house first thing this morning it was a rather chilly -3.4 BUT, being bright, clear, and no wind, it was rather nice to be bathed in the, warmish, sunshine as I waited for the bus However, it has only climbed to 1 degree and we are still promised light snow for Saturday ....

Been cycling in it, S_A? Makes the eyes water heading east in the mornings, for me... but nice to get a push in the back going home of an evening. At least it's dry!!! And it's SO nice to get home and into the warm!Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
