Wow. Beats me 'only' -12 here

EMA is reporting -13 and I can testify the roads are solid ice is lots of places.

I saw -14 on the way to work yesterday.

It was a cosy -2.5 this morning.

scooblee

-17 here.

GlesgaKiss

Freezing fog. Bit cold for the deer this morning.

scooblee

Nice picture that

scooblee

We've got freezing fog now too, 0930 and still -14.
Had -16 for the past two days now early morning, heating packed in at the fuel farm where I work 3 days ago, not good.

It was -10 in Pontefract yesterday morning - think it was lower but not sure how accurate my jeeps temp gauge is. Was up there visiting the wifes folks. Took the jeep up just in case and there wasn't any snow on the way but surprising how much was still there on untreated roads.

Was between -4 and -7 all the way home yesterday on the motorway but think it was colder in parts. Seemed to spend 6 hours driving in fog soup.

Are all you guys farmers or something? In the developed world here in London it's fine, not a flake in sight!

GlesgaKiss

Yeah you can tell there's no snow in London. It would take up 90% of the news if there was.

'And this morning, news that chaos has been brought to the UK with literally centimetres of snow bringing London to a standstill. Bankers unable to get to their paper shuffling duties, politicians unable to create equality... it's just an unimaginable nightmare Mary.'

'Thanks Tim. Elsewhere, ten feet of snow reported in some places. Now I'll hand you over to Jim for the sport.'

You can keep your 3 by 3 shed that cost 500,000 for me, I'd rather live in Poland, congestion charges, **** holes everywhere that think they are better than the next person, we have scum up here but you have wannabe gangsters everywhere, a very expensive **** hole.
On the upside when your not breathing in fumes you have nice weather, enjoy.

OK ill say it ,

Why would live deer be sitting in your front garden ?

-18 in the car up here in Aberdeen

I come from near London and I have managed to avoid going anywhere near it for quite a long time now thank goodness. Last place I would want to live near any more!

I did my last ever landing where you work, used to be RAF Finningley then. Do they still do the Battle of Britain air day there.

Les

scooblee

No mate, is a shame that, not sure but it maybe held a farnborough now.
It's changed alot since it was RAF finningley, most of the old buildings have gone, mainly just the hangers remain.
Worked here since the airport opened in 2005, we had a lad work with us for a while called Andy Watson, think that's the right surname, he used to work in fuels for the RAF here.

+2 here in Böblingen at the moment. All the snow is melting aswell. Supposed to be 6-8 degrees tomorrow

corradoboy

Last time I was in London it was more like the Third World. If that's 'developed' then I'd rather be a farmer any day !

Clarebabes

We got -8 on the gauge this morning. I don't think I have ever seen a temperature that low since I've owned a car.

Clarebabes

Me too, glad I don't live there and never have. I like to see fields and trees from my house!

-7 in Cheshire this morning.

Not that remarkable I suppose but I only remember seeing it that cold once before the start of 2010, about in about 1998 and I was gobsmacked during a journey to see the temp drop that far, this year it seems routing, global cooling you see. I never thought I would see the -15 we saw in January and the minus twenty odds we are seeing are a bit out of the ordinary as well, I bet the Scottish are actually thinking of putting a coat on now, that layer of ginger downy fur only protects so far

Markus

-5 (-14 with windchill) here. No snow, but downtown Toronto has snow. Not that I mind, saves me having to clear the driveway in the morning.

Pretty normal temps for the time of year, and it's a dry cold, so much nicer than the UK's damp cold. Looks like you've got our snow again!

RA Dunk

ROFL!!!

Leslie

Yes it would have to change a lot of course. I think that the runway is reckoned to be the strongest one in the country. Would have taken a lot of digging up anyway. It was also the first place I flew the Vulcan from and where I did my last Vulcan display too. Strange it is where I did my last landing too in a Dominie.

I don't remember the bloke you mention.

Les

ReallyReallyGoodMeat

Reasonable though, I mean we don't hear about the weather extremes in Guatemala do we. The news focus on the places that are important

scooblee

Just as well, he was a tool, I think the runway was resurfaced just before it closed in 1995 but parts have been done since, one of the longest runways in the uk, was the longest for a time.
We had the largest (flying) aircraft in the world land here not long back, think it was an AN226 or 4, the antinov that carried the space shuttle on it's back, very impressive aircraft, needed most of the runway to get off the ground.
Be nice to see a Vulcan land back here at some point.
