mattx Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Is it me or has this winter really dragged......? Answers on a postcard please.
Hightower Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Yes, cannot wait for some sun so I can go camping again!
SteveBentley Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 We had snow at the end of February last year.
Hightower Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 We had snow at the end of February last year. We had snow at the end of November last year! That's just unheard of! I don't mean "ooooo, look 1mm of snow", I mean 2 or 3 feet of snow!
mo_vigilante Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Yeah its doing my head in with the short day and the cold weather. Can't wait till the clocks go forward and some warmish weather to come!
laserblazer Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 All of the aconites and snowdrops are out in front of the school and I sat outside to eat my lunch yesterday. It didn't get really dark until gone 5pm. Spring is on its way.
Hightower Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Spring is on its way. Good - people reckon Spring is the best time to sell a house
sonofsanta Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Oh god yes. Not just weather-wise which has stretched out since that horrible cold snap from the end of Nov, but just in terms of all the general cr*p that accompanies winter. Everything always goes wrong at this time of year. In the last 3 weeks alone my sister has all but split from her fiancée, mother-in-laws best friend has been diagnosed with cancer, boiler has broken for the third time this winter, dishwasher has broken, cars have cost over £500 on services, home internet broke which turned out to be due to something previous owner did my side of master socket so that cost £130... and there's ongoing (lifelong) badness as well that we're still adjusting to. So a very long winter indeed! On the bright side, everything's running pretty well in work, sky is blue outside right now, and foo fighters are on my radio right now. it'll get better yet. it's just annoying when it all piles on at once sometimes!
elsiegee40 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 We had snow at the end of February last year. We had snow at the end of November last year! That's just unheard of! I don't mean "ooooo, look 1mm of snow", I mean 2 or 3 feet of snow! I don't seem to remember much improvment, except for a lack of snow, in between the two. It would be nice to get a good summer this year!
Dos_Box Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 It's winter!! Some of us oldies here who grew up in the 70's will tell you that these really are quite mild still, and besides, I expect we'll have another cold snap before this one is out. Last years seemed to go on until May in my mind!
DAZZD88 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 The generally having no money thing is bumming me out. Although that is due to be rectified soon enough. Good job too, sick of having had the bike in the garage due to poor road conditions. Been dying to get it out and go for a blast along some country roads. Also wanna buy a DSLR, maybe move out of parents house etc... Okay so not directly related to the weather but still because of being bummed out about the weather, it means everything else has justseemed even more depressing.

Last years seemed to go on until May in my mind! 70's I remember those balmy winters. We had just thawed out from the 60s. I'm also old enough to remember London smog and that was unpleasant.

rad Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Summer needed and quickly, bored of staying in doors, getting up in the dark, going hom ein the dark, now ready for Sun, sea and sailing. Oh BBQ's and the fun that we all have too.
mattx Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 I think mattx will remember the 70s winters as well as we do DB! It may not be unusual, but it does get you down a bit. I wish I was back in the 70's sometimes.
tech_guy Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I wish I could go back to 1985 but have then what I have now.
