The end of summer- here comes winter thread

[AJWhite1970]

Love it to be cold and snowy. Not much chance of that though - too close to the coast here. We don't even get snow when there is snow 5 miles away inland.

 

I live about 15 miles north of you and 400 feet higher and I can confirm that when I get snowed in, my parents who are still in Dorset think I'm pulling their legs...

Must be autumn time, due to the adverse weather conditions today my train to work was running late (yet my TfL service was running fine as usual) so that must be the special leaves on the line slowing the Greater Anglia service down to London!

 

Yep, makes a refreshing change from that special kind of sun on the line slowing the Greater Anglia service down to London

I personally won't be happy until I goto work in Bermuda shorts and pass palm trees swaying in the gentle breeze. Get a move on global warming!

Looks like some are predicting a cool-cold winter! Bring on the snow!

I don't mind getting up in the dark, it's going home that I hate. One of the reasons I work 6am to 3pm, the other being the amount I can get done when the place is empty.

 

We will be spending this half-term, some of Xmas, February and Easter in the Algarve and next winter, I'll no longer be tied to school holidays, so we will be migrating south for the duration It can still get pretty cold at night in Portugal but most days it's warm enough for shorts.

Bring on the snow! I much prefer cold to hot - you can do something about being cold, and I seem to have antifreeze in the blood anyway, so it doesn't bother me that much!

Iceland, Finland, & Greenland

 

I hate getting up in the dark, leaving for work in the gloom, and getting home in the dark. I also HATE scrapping the car window, only to find it frozen on the inside too. (and then finding clowns on the road who have cleared neither).

 

I like crisp clear mornings when I don't have to piddle about with scrapers!
