First snow of the winter has arrived!  Not much yet, but some roads 20 miles West of Aberdeen are only passable by 4WD.

-6c showing at 06:40. Took a while to 'crack' the door open

Now in Blackpool (42 miles further West) and it's a mediterranean -2c. Luxury

[bumpkin]

-2C up here, the roads are like a bottle, ESP light flashing in gears 1,2 and 3, how the hell can you go slower than 5-10mph

Touched the brake approaching a junction the ABS kicked in and we just sailed straight on, VERY lucky that nothing was coming, bumpkin goes off to change undercrackers

LaLaLa were not listening 

Didn't fall off, but some person who had fogotten to scrape their windcreen tried to squish me. I politely reminded her she should defrost her car before moving off. I did this mostly by using a special hand signal, and politely shouting profanities.

 The past few days have been warm 28C to 33C during the day but quite humid and overnight has been around 14C ....... The start of summer next wednesday 01/12/10 the it will start to go from warm to hot 

[bumpkin]

Couple of inches of the white stuff overnight.

I think that the councils have forgotten what a gritter is though, haven't seen one yet

Normal drive to work average speed is 20mph, today 6mph.........I need a coffee

[eye30]

.........I need a coffee

Shouldn't that be a whisky chaser

Digging her out this morning

[Dazzler]

We don't know how lucky we are over here

We don't know how lucky we are over here 

What for? Didn't you ever wish to play snowballing? (as i can see from the roof-top, Brian did)

[Hemmi]

I hate snow, I hope I dont get any snow this winter!

[Ozbrum]

We don't know how lucky we are over here

That was a great photo Bumpkin and I echo Dazzler's post ...... I'll try not to moan about the warm or even hot weather here now ....... We would just curl up and die there waiting for the rescue helicopter  and the truth is we couldn't drive in those road condition.

That's how I check the ESP is working

It has been snowing pretty much constantly here all morning

My garden and street when I got home from work

We thought the snow earlier this year was bad but to have it so early what's the next 4 months going to throw at us.

No snow here yet but this afternoon had a hail shower which has left the roads/pavements very slippy


When are you making the snowman?

[Lorian]

Snowed for a couple of hours here even though it wasn't forecast for us

A crisp November morning in South-Western Finland, the sun rose at 9:01 am. Temperature is -16°C and ground is covered with 4-5 inches of powder snow.

I'm having trouble with the temperature inside our place... We have this lovely Living room which gets lots of afternoon and evening sun (and even in this early part of summer gets up to 28c or 29c) and my lovely   wife won't let me put a breeze through because she wants it nice ant cosy for the evening..  

Now I am currently recovering from a bit of illness which involves fluctuating body temperature (mainly high) and it doesn't matter what I DON'T wear 28c or 29c is bloody hot when you are just watching telly or browsing on your Laptop (but the wife says it's nice and cosy)

"Not happy Jan" he says loudly in his office (some 20 metres away in the cooler end of the house)  

EDIT: We have reverse cycle (heating/cooling) in that room but can only use that to keep it warm - don't even think of cooling it down
