GFS 06z out at day 10 (Bonfire night) showing snow for higher ground in Scotland, Wales and some for the Cheshire gap / NW area.

If we fast forward to t+384h (November 11th) on the same morning run, then the door is open for a northerly and out in central europe the beast awaits.

Obviously at this point even anything past half term is hard to pin down.
 
Very very wet but also very mild today i went for drizzle and wind in poll

I only have my heating on about 5 hours a day. Just wear thick chunky clothing and layers plus hot drinks.

You shouldn’t have to live like that just to keep warm in your own home. It’s not the Victorian era ffs.

I’m with Uther, mild winter please so the older and less well off don’t have to choose between heating and eating.

If you’re cold, you’re cold. People are different. I firmly believe you should always be able to be comfortable in your own home wearing a t-shirt.

Like you say people are different. For my other half and step daughter to be comfortable in a tshirt I'd be nipping outside to cool off. It's easier for them to warm up using a blanket or jumper than it is for me to cool down.

Seriously? Unless you’re hugely overweight, cooling down in the winter indoors is a piece of cake.

Yes seriously, I've always ran very warm.

You can't say in one post "People are different" and then infer I'm a fatty fat fat in another because I find it hard to cool down :o

What? If the room temperature is too high how do you propose to cool down indoors? This 'everyone should be able to wear a t shirt' is nonsense tbh.
 
I dont like being over warm, when i visit my folks feel just so uncomfortable (but elderly so they feel it) this fits nicely with me being a tight git, i watch humidity and temperature closly, at 17c now, no heating thats fine but been out walking, probably get it up to 21. C when im in slob mode later, but this will only take an hour of the oil ch (the actual burner will only kick in 55% of that)
 
This feels a long way from snow, that sun feels awesome, here i like to throw the photography critics afew scraps, brightens up their days ;)
Edit, just dodging some rainfall

I think peoples body temperatures change as they go through life.

I remember being 16 years old and going out regularly in just a t-shirt messing around in the big snow drifts.

These days the cold gets to me a lot more.
