sidcow Posted March 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2022 Just been and put the bins out in just my short sleeve shirt and didn't feel cold or anything. Weather looks cracking the next few days. We're looking at winter in the rear view mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went out for a walk one afternoon and though it was proper freezing, it was beautiful too, as the sun set and the freezing fog came following in For years we used to hire a big holiday home with loads of friends in January / February time for a long weekend. Nothing better than a bracing walk in freezing temperatures on a crisp sunny day. But then again we had occasional unseasonal hot weather. I particularly remember walking down a beach in Devon in January in the sun with my shirt wide open bare chested and still being warm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only rain in the forecast is tomorrow. Other than that it's 2 weeks of sunny days up to 15° some days. Make sure you have your brolly tomorrow Keep your eye on the trains. They're cancelling loads again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Some of the clouds over the south of England are carrying more than rain today. There's a lot of filthy cars covered in orange Saharan sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice and snow everywhere, frozen and burst pipes, easily the coldest temperature I’ve ever experienced. You could snap your hair. I was climbing Snowdon that year on a school outward bounds course. We were roped together having climbed the scree at the side of the railway track and were approx 500 meters from the summit, the hard part was done. We had to turn back we couldn't see the person in front of us let alone anyone else I have no idea what temperature it actually was but I still maintain that is the coldest I've ever been I've still never been to the top of Snowdon, it's on a list 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Talking of outward bounds trips, when I was 16/17 we did some caving/pot holing up in Yorkshire somewhere as part of an A level course. There wasn’t enough wellies for everyone so an unlucky few had to do it in their trainers (me being one of them). The pain I had from walking in the freezing cold water for hours still lives we me today. It’s was excruciating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
