RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted December 1, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2009 Morning! About 6?° up here and still dark - hardly surprising . Plans for today include preparing some packages and - well, can't think of anything remarkable as of now:blink: . Later . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted December 1, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2009 Morning all chilly outside but dry the cars are white over with frost and there is light on the horizon, I am sure it isn't snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted December 1, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2009 Morning all -2C here when I took my good lady to work. I'm sure that there is some physical explaination as to why cans of de-icer feel several degrees colder than that. I had to have a cup of coffee to defrost my hands.

DonBradley Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 We are used to it raining cats and dogs, so why not snowing sheep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted December 1, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2009 Morning everyone. Slight frost here as well, I'll go out in a minute and see if my wife's car needs the screen scraping. Robbie pretended to be asleep when I suggested a garden visit at 6.30.

sixoh8sixoh Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 At least with the way snowflakes drift gently down they wouldn't break their legs when they land. Would be very baaaa-d if that happened. Morning all. Frost on the rooves here in Edinburgh. Still pretty dark here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy L Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Morning all!

dseagull Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Morning. It's bitterly cold this morning, and we're away at Peacehaven tonight, which was cold in August Still, 18 days of work before Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted December 1, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2009 Just something that's been going through my mind for much of this morning... I am currently clearing out some stuff via Ebay and other trading places and am - again - finding myself to be quite worried about not overlooking anything and not making any mistakes when inspecting the items in question and then describing them. I do know that neither my mind nor my perception is perfect, but still - I think it is something like a matter of honour for me to accurately describe those items and to not overlook anything. In fact, I often found myself worrying about those things even days after I posted a package. In short - I do not like conflicts of any kind, which I guess might explain this behaviour - at least in part . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted December 1, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2009 Brrrrrrr! about -2 on the Yorkshire coast, but got warmed up spreading salt on the drive at work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium eldavo Posted December 1, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 1, 2009 Morning All, Seriously frosty car on the drive but luckily mine is in the garage! I guess I'll have to venture out soon. I really don't like cold, second only to wet in my dislike list. Quite unreasonable really but someone has scheduled a meeting with me today so I have to venture into the office. Then again I have to attend a Mandarin Chinese course at lunchtime and I better not get on the wrong side of the teacher! Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old boss of mine in the Scottish Government used to come in with a bag of small oranges and offer them around the office, saying "Civil service mandarin, anyone?"...

Guest Max Stafford Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ah, what bliss not to have to trudge through soggy mush in the woods for the first time in seemingly months. May the frost last a while! Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Kendall Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Morning (Just!) All! It was bracing here cycling in this morning! No Oktas and -1c on the thermometer when I left the house.... brrr.... Things here have been nusy of late so access has been sporadic, I'm glad to see that everyone is still here and well! Weather here greying now and still freezing, and so I wonder if I'll get to the shop and back dry - and without freezing over?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted December 1, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2009 Apparently I looked rather cold when I walked into college today. Of course, it was quite treacherous cycling on unkempt roads and gravel tracks today. Must have been in the minuses when I left home. The puddles were all frozen over and where there were puddles on a gravel track, the ice had been broken and so the track was scattered in ice blocks and how I avoided the front wheel from slipping completely I do not know. The river is seriously high around here, not unusual for this time of year though. If it is still up tomorrow i'll take a few photos... To all those that cycle daily... Are brakes supposed to fail when there is a frost?! I almost ended up taking the corner faster than expected into a gate post . Roll on summer... brr...

AndrewC Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Wimps. I used to have to walk 5 miles up hill both ways in -60c to get to school. Seriously, growing up in the Rocky Mountains, -35c is cold. 0c with a touch of frost is still shorts and sandals weather to Canadians. There is an old Innu saying that basically translates as : "it's not cold until your pee freezes before it hits the snow". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
