Bin lids all frozen shut this morning, thick fog about as well, stay in bed guys. Apart from Drago of course as Lemmy wants walking.

Good morning people, if I look out the front the sky is clear and its a cold and frosty morning, if I look out the back theres thick dark clouds. I'm trying to figure out if I can trust the forecast and get some miles in.

-7 out there and dropping, thick freezing fog, I would say a day for not going out.

Freaking hell it's cold. -5 here. Fire lit, coffee made and i am not going anywhere.

+1°C here and a bit of a ground frost.
Forecasting heavy snow in Barnstaple, 7 miles away, later this afternoon but we probably won't get it as we are right on the coast. It normally goes over us and dumps about 5 miles inland. We shall see.
Off to Bideford for some shopping this morning.

2 degrees and frosty in Coventry, snow forecast for tonight

Clear bright blue sky - very, very cold though. Going to be a beautiful day though. Bin men didn't turn up yesterday - wimps. It was blue, grey and brown bins so goodness knows how that will be dealt with.

Time to start on the jobs which got missed due to the walk to the pub.............................

-5°C here but really crisp and clear. Think I'm going to risk a ride as it's too nice a day to miss. Plan is to walk a couple of streets to the main road which will have been gritted. I'll then follow bus routes to Durham and up Weardale which will have also been gritted. It won't be the most interesting ride and there will be more traffic than I'd normally like but I can't spend a day like this indoors.

At 08.00 it was miserable, foggy and very cold (-2 I believe). So I phoned the golf club to tell them I wont be there for the competition. The pro told me there are some people already out .
How anyone can play golf with snow on the ground ???,
09.30 now and its definitely brightening up.
My BIGGEST problem is that last night, knowing I wouldn't be playing golf, I had a few drinkpoos while watching the football on tv..... and now I just dont feel like doing anything

-6c during the night but no snow as yet

Morning all, as usual the dog has been walked for an hour or so. It is a lovely frosty, icy bright morning here with a hint of mist. Just the right weather for walking. A domestics day today so no rush for anything, just relax. I have a few things recorded off the telly box to catch up on.

Rode into Hatton just now and most of the canel is frozen, and the ducks are stood on the ice looking unimpressed. Just about to tuck into a well earned bacon sandwich and a coffee.

We've got heavy snow tonight I suppose it's made from heavy water.

Snow isnt made from water.
The fairies make it by sewing dust particles together.
Some people know nowt!

I went outside to throw some rubbish in the bin and my god it's cold enough to freeze your bits off. . Car service and M.O.T paid. Housworky stuff done and that's it for me now. I shall not stray far from the fire.
