Also bored with the bad weather.

Winter seems to have lasted forever this year, and i'm not normally bothered by the cold. I think the absence of any freak mild spell has just made it feel interminable

 

Most out in T shirts here. Just did my coast run and sweated my butt off in my "long" kit.

Bit warmer here I think.

 

Where is here?

 

Cornwall

 

The position of the country where it is in relation to the Atlantic and the vagaries of the weather systems as demonstrated by the movement of the Jetstream are likely to generate the changeable weather that we undergo.

I even remember a very heavy snowstorm south west of London well into May one year.

I do remember however how boring the weather used to be just east of the Rockies when it went for weeks without a drop of rain, we were fed up with it!

Same here.

Add to that, the promised mild weather seems to be getting further and further into the future.

It WAS 21st March, yesterday it had moved out to 26th March, today it's gone out to 28th March....

 

Its actually spring and this is standard early spring weather, you can have similar in late autumn also, not climate change, just the standard climate, worry if we have a heat wave in the middle of winter or snow in the middle of summer

 

But it's not Spring until Thursday....

 

This from 2006 has some info on that: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4767522.stm

 

Another evening, another cr4p sunset (taken from our bedroom window):

 

Awful.........

 

-17 celsius in Finland and snowing at the moment

 

Yeah, but that's Finland
You're used to a lot of snow.

Nice place by the way, was there on business last year
And you're all a slight bit mad too

 

Me too but in June. Didn't get dark! I really liked it there.

 

Did you think the Fin's are a bit mad too
N

I had a a meeting 9:30ish, guy brings out a bottle of gin and asks if I like yin?

 

Definitely ! They have a reputation of bring a bit serious but I found once you get to know them a bit, they are really funny.

We were about three hours North of Heksinki (by super high speed train, with wifi all the way!). Loads of trees!

 

And today, the promised mild spell has disappeared completely...
Nothing but this, with temperatures hovering between -4 and 3 degrees for the next ten days

 

Very bizarre weather.
The local breakfast weather news said this morning that from this evening and until early next week will be very cold, probably snow and strong bitterly cold winds.

Whoopy ******* do.

 

More sunshine here; not warm but pleasant enough. Forecast cack for the next two days though.

 

We've had a fair bit of snow in the last two days, probably 8-10"

 

Weather,eh.

It's kind of what you expect this latitude, and proximity to the ocean ? !!


If you want to be seriously delighted with a bit of 'weather' spend some time in the tropics.?

 

Aaaarghhh

Why is this such a feckin surprise folks ...?

It is totally normal to get snow well into the year like this. We live on a friggin island and it is mighty hard to predict what is going to develop from all around us.

I remember as a young kid having my birthday party in the snow, treasure hunts etc (birthday is not for another couple of weeks yet). Also remember not being able to roll our Easter eggs as there was too much snow...

Nothing unusual about the weather...OK?

 

Urban, there is no way to get used to this freezing weather! Glad that you liked it here but in my opinion this is not the place where I want to live.. If I may ask where did you had that meeting? Unfortunately finns are alcoholic nation.. And matteeboy it really is kind of nice that it doesn't get dark at all between june and july but it makes people to have insomnia and to balance all that lightness in summer time, Winter is totally dark and especially this winter between december and february we only had 18 hours of daylight and that is just crazy! Now that sun is shining it really hurts my eyes

 

My meeting was with the Finnish prison authority

Not getting dark was a very weird, but I guess that's when the alcohol helps

I don't think I'd want to live there to be fair, too cold for a start.
Nice for a wee visit

 

I was in Seinajoki (sp?) with a load of EU delegates. Slightly scary presentation but otherwise a good trip. But I don't sleep much either!!

 

I really don't know what all the moaning is about. It's cold.... deal with it. It's snowing every now and then... so what? The alternative at this time of year is mild and p1ssing down. I'll take the cold crisp days with occasional snow thanks.

PS Of course all the naysayers about winter tyres are looking even more like f**king muppets too so that's another plus point

 

Hahaha security people..

Yeah luckily I might be able to move out of here in couple of years

 

Nah, just travelling around as normal with little or no issue thus far

 

Going down the shops tonight I'd have to admit it did have that 'summery' feel to it. ( last summer ) like it could last to mid July. - I bloody hope not.

You kind of have to feel for the greater midlands folk, it ain't like they'll have hills to toboggan down either

 

lol it's always good to come out of things like this with a slight grin on your face knowing you got the last laugh. ***Snigger***
