Snowing pretty good again here in Eastbourne.

On that note frustrating watching drivers take the corner outside my house - so many take a lazy line crossing the centre line then **** themselves when half-way around they meet a big vehicle coming the other way and nearly have an accident - some of them never learn and you see the same vehicle doing it repeatedly.
It is crazy cold this morning but nice and dry. Hate wet winters.
Bumped into them this morning, my dog was happily bounding around playing with yours, asked what the dog's name was and when she said Piper..
Your dog is adorable, was really enjoying jumping around with mine. He's a big lad though so he can be a bit scary to some smaller dogs but yours wasn't bothered at all!
small world isn’t it. Obviously knew you lived in Soton or close to West End but sharing the same dog walk route
We got a white cockapoo with red harness, called Piper. My wife walks her week days between morning and then lunch. Then I do the weekends.
We do Monnow, Ullswater, through the woods down to Windermere then back up to Ennerdale.

Well it got down to -13.2 degrees C last night and it's still -12.8 right now. It's bitterly cold outside and we had frost on the inside edges of our windows this morning. The thing I like about these cold, crisp mornings is that the sky is crystal clear and you can see for miles. The Ben (Ben Rinnes) behind us looks magnificent covered in deep snow and we can even see all the way to the Cairngorms from the bedroom window today.

Snowed for about 5 minutes last night then stopped enough to dust the pavements then promptly all melted think it actually rose above freezing last night contrary to everyone else. Nothing left not even what little there was from monday. I'm fed up with this weather now it can bugger off.

Just got in, she mentioned she had bumped into you from the forum, only just looked on forum and saw this
. Wife said the same thing about your dog. Might bump into you sometime then.Snowed briefly around 2am here but it was just powdery stuff that blew around with a little accumulating on the cars then freezing. Doesn't seem to be much clarity on the breakdown as the cold eases off Arpege still seems to think it will result in a fair bit of snow but short lived as it turns milder with it.
Lots of cold spilling out generally though - though there looks like quite a plume of warmer air coming in it potentially looks short lived.

It's still -6.2 C here now and the temp will start dropping again in another hour or so. So far the -13.2 C last night and the -6.2 C now is the coldest night/day since 2010 when we had a severe winter with -24 C at night and -18 C during the day along with 4 feet of snow. We were below zero for more than two months that winter. The only time I have been colder was the three winter tours of the Falklands that I did when in the RAF.
Go Electric - scheduled pre-heating gets the car up to 22c automatically and fully defrosted in less than 10mins
Most also come with a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats too - kids love it
Hell of a strong bitter wind again, but dry and Frost free, the house is 11 C when I get home, altime low, humidifier not been triggered at all
Need to suss my heating timer out I wired the thing on to my boiler main board from a doner boiler but have never used
