It's a bit meh in comparison to the bar that was set a decade ago

The should be an isolation valve on the inside. You turn that off before a cold spell then drain the water out of the outside bit.

Found the isolation valve under the kitchen sink. The sun thawed the pipe and I ran it empty with the valve shut.

Rather have this than the record breaking heatwave we had a few months ago, in fact remembering that makes me get through these temps.

Bolloxs!
I've put a thread about the cold weather up.

 

[Blackjack Davy]

minus 11 wtf is this the north pole?!

In Portsmouth?! Its 0c daytime and -1 nighttime currently but feels a heck of a lot colder because theres a constant wind blowing that sucks the heat out of everything nighttime is freezing keep waking up cold got a duvet plus a blanket thats doubled up and its still not enough might have to throw some coats over as well. Cant' be as be bad as the guy who sleeps rough in the multistorey car park I see every night though bloody hell he must be cold.

Me too, that was unbearable and the extreme heat I do not enjoy at all. I don't mind anything up to -10 at all tbh. Much prefer the winter.

We had -17 on one of our Scottish sites and it stopped a isolation valve from closing...

So yeah this winter has been interesting so far

Indeed. Its funny seeing people make a big deal about a bit of cold after the outrageous summer we just had.

No not in portsmouth, thank goodness. But was on a call with a colleague in Manchester who saw -11 in his car on his way in to work.
We haven't even seen a flurry of snow yet.

Woke up to 3-4" of snow this morning and a last-minute amber weather warning.

 

[moon man]

Heavy frost, don't normally park at the front but awaiting some solar defrosting

 

[Cosimo]

Us city dwellers only have -2.5C this morning. It will be over on Sunday.

Tomorrow's the last day of this properly cold weather for now. Will be sad to see it go.
