Settled on a Berghaus Fellmaster 3-in-1 , Comes with a fairly lightweight fleece that zips in , can get heavyweight fleeces too but to be honest, if it's cold and dry, i'll be wearing my down jacket, this is just for wet/snowy days.

Thanks I'll give it a look!
Some interesting trends emerging towards the end of the forecasting models but at a range that makes them highly unreliable - they've kept on trying to go cold at the longer range but every time eased towards milder as we get close to that point :s now starting to show the possibility of sub-zero temperatures beyond the 26th with a small chance of snow.
The impact of the SSW event earlier in the year seems to have been progressively longer and longer wavelength and smaller and smaller amplitude so probably won't be having any real impact any more.

BMreports the national grid balancing market monitoring site shows very tight margins on the grid tomorrow and Friday and the same again next week. I can only assume wind is predicted to be very low and solar will obviously be very low. I don't think we're looking anywhere near as tight as last March when the gas supplies were running out but it's a good early test of the system.
Next year will be interesting if we're entering a sequence of cold winters because the recent ECJ judgement against the Capacity Market could see big changes in the supply for next winter.

I ******* hate winter
I absolutely love it

You like being cold?

I like the feeling of warming up and feeling cosy. I like the look of crisp white winter mornings.
I hate summer, being warm and not being able to cool down, not sleeping because of it, hayfever and so on. This year was a nightmare haha

A nice frost on everything this morning, big coat might need to come out if it carries on. Love Autumn/Winter months.

I like crisp cold dry winter days. I absolutely detest wet n windy winter days as they make you feel colder than it is. I like warm and dry but don't like hot due to sweating, hayfever and lack of sleep.
I was quite surprised by the heavy frost this morning. I know it's nearing the end of November, but I'm sure that for the last few years, it's been fairly mild all the way up to (and just beyond) Christmas. No significant snow until January/February at the earliest. I much prefer it this way - I don't expect a white Christmas, but it does feel much more seasonal when it's at least cold and frosty through December.
