Minus 4C and dropping quickly at 5.30PM, going to be a cold one tonight.

Need a week of 10C to take the cold out of the walls.

Tonight is the 14th night of frost this month for us.

Yeah impact on buildings wont be so dramatic it needs days to feed through and the increased temps are going to be temporary.

Will hopefully take the strain off the heating. A few bit of time/money is barely making a dent at the moment and I wouldn’t say our house is too poorly insulated either.

Might just get a frosty Christmas at least

Personally think the forecasts will trend a little more towards colder, possibly some snow in the north, around Christmas - some of the milder runs I think will drop out as we get nearer and past the milder bit coming up.

Their stating on the Bbc that the first half of December has been the coldest for a 100 years.

Were in a 200 year old cottage, the stone walls are 37inches thick on the ground floors, going to be a right pain
to get them back up to temp for sure.

Wood burner been on nearly 24/7 the last 10 days.

The Summer 40C temps are a very distant memory!

The 4th child, the 6 year old has now died

Solihull: Six-year-old boy who fell into icy lake dies

The six-year-old becomes the fourth boy to die after being pulled from the water in Solihull.

Very sad, while I didn't know any of the boys personally, I do know a couple of kids who were pretty close to them - certainly hits a lot closer to home

Yes it's hopefully edging towards more cold after a brief warm up, pretty cold one tonight though already at -7c

Macky · 15 Dec 2022 at 06:57

Woke up to -9c this morning. Think that's the coldest I've ever seen!

XeNoN89 · 15 Dec 2022 at 07:43

-7C here. Slightly chilly.

200sols · 15 Dec 2022 at 07:44

We've only managed a paltry -3c.

goldy6660 · 15 Dec 2022 at 07:51

-8 today and it's ridiculously cold

robj20 · 15 Dec 2022 at 08:02

Was -10 defrosting the car this morning. Actually starting to worry about the washing machine in the garage.
