Winter Time Again

[Ridge Runner]

On Sunday About 60ks north of me the temps got down to -6*c and some places got as low as -8*c and Now we are having a heat wave at a balmy 11.2*c, not bad for a 19* swing in temps, :lol: :lol: :lol:

It was 0.6*c here at about 5;30 this morning, The higher the Air pressure the clearer the sky and the colder it gets. Some places over the weekend already got down to -6 to -7*c and these are the first cold temps we have seen, The record over here was -27.2*c In December 1995, In March 1986 they recorded winds of 278kph and on the 19th of December 2008 someone recorded winds of 312kph up in the Cairngorm Mountains, Up there the weather can change from one hour to the next.

Funny you bring this up. Dad just commented they had their first frosts last week which is unusually late. It's not unknown to have snow on the ground from October to April where they are on the South side of the Cairngorms. I remember 1982 where it also reached -27*C. Freaking cold. I also remember a few times as a kid being cut off by snow for up to three weeks which meant no school. Yipee!!! After school I cut timber for a living. And if it had snowed the night before the snow would settle on the limbs until you started felling. Every tree guaranteed a mega dumping as Kg's of snow fell off those limbs. Nah! I don't miss any of that.
Tummel bridge, not far from my parents had a 29*C in a 24hr period. None of it hot. :lol:

I went and camped in the Cairngorms by the Loch in the 70's and there was still snow there in April / May,

Here's a video from one of Britain's worst Winters from 1962/3, Some area's were a lot colder than what they report here but the Snow was over 20 foot deep,

It's a balmy 5.1*c here at the moment and no doubt it's going to go lower, One thing I have noticed is that it is always the coldest about 2 hours before and up until the sun comes up, it's supposed to go down to 1*c tonight/tomorrow morning,

Bugga it is cold here, The Temperature is dropping and it is already at 1.1*c and 6 days out of the next 10 days are going to be below freezing and the weather liars say it is going to be colder than Greenland :N: Not Good.

I got enough food and Coffee for the next 90 days Now the Temp is 0.9*c geez it's going down fast.

I got thermal everything at the ready, There is no way am I going to get cold, bugga the detecting, Time to clean all the gear and wait for the sun to come out

I got all the Cold weather gear, Trouble is I look like the Michelin Man when I go out :lol: :lol:

[Ridge Runner]

Cor, I think that would do me in if I came back in the summer months after these temps :lol:

I went in the bathroom this morning and it was 8.9*c in there, That was a shock to the system

I went to the local shop this morning wearing a Goose Down Parka and a pair of boots rated to -50*c, It was about 3*c but the wind cut like a knife, I must be a wimp because I saw one bloke wearing a Sweatshirt and Shorts

EDIT: It's down to 0.5*c now It's dropped 0.6*c in the last half hour.

 

[Ridge Runner]

It's 0.7*c here tonight and the Snow has hit everywhere but here,

Scotland on the other hand is going to see the temperatures drop quite a bit, here are some pics of what my Weather doodad says about Scotlands Weather over the next 10 days,

Nice, I wish it was doing that here, They are saying that it will go down to -12*c up north and with the wind chill on top of that it will feel more like -28*c and they are getting about 20cm of Snow but you can be sure it will be a lot colder than that and the Snow will drift to a lot deeper
