Winter 2022/23 - It's too cold :(

Just a little update on the upcoming winter thoughts thread this morning. The CANSPS seasonal has updated. Now showing a cold December for Europe with high pressure dominating and by the looks of it, Scandinavian high. Could the ball be finally turning for coldies who knows. I still think it’s too early to make any assumptions. I think come mid November we might have an idea of how the pattern is forming up but still early days everything for grabs. Sorry for posting this here but thought it related to the above.

My work is cold. Problem is the boiler is the original boiler when store was built 44 years ago. Who has a boiler that age in their homes? It gets fixed and lasts 3-4 days. They will not replace the boiler as needs 2-3 days of store being closed which head office won’t accept. Come home with a painful chest. I don’t want to put extra layers on as I won’t feel the benefit if we have a very cold winter.
It’s the same way as people wearing thick winter coats now.
 
Went out and enjoyed the sun on kayak on Sunday.

As we slip into grim winter I plan to properly look at emigration.

It sucks detesting 6 months of the year (and also where the UK is going). Wish we were still in the EU to make it easier!

I bet kayaking can be pretty good fun in the winter though ? I have a hooded 5/4 excel wetsuit , even on big days Harlyn or Towan will be surfable ( north facing) plus the surf schools are always out so it's a good vibe and company if you get into trouble ( both these places tend to close out potentially slamming you into the gravel)

I don't really enjoy it. Its too cold and you need too much kit.
Its not so bad in rivers. But I'd rather grab my board or bike.

But really I don't like the cold so means I have to be really motivated to go out.
 
“November and December look more settled with high pressure likely to dominate our weather. Exact weather conditions will be dictated by where the high pressure settles over the Atlantic and the UK, but we are likely to see a higher incidence of northerly airflows, preventing mild, moist air flowing to the UK from the Atlantic Ocean and increasing the potential for cold snaps with some threat of snow and ice, mainly in northern areas.

We’ve still not had much rain. It’s actually been one of the nicer Septembers and Octobers that I remember. That probably translates to a cold dry winter unless this trend changes. I’d actually prefer mild and wet.
 
First (I think) 1 on the snow row for the GEFS (London) for the end of the month.

Getting some deep solid cold pooling starting to build over the arctic now on the models.

Was a much nicer September one or 2 years ago. Can't remember which!

October though. Yeah it's been nice.. For October.

November and December are my least favourite month of the year. Usually cold, damp, grey. So any sun is welcomed.

Hasn’t been cold for a while. 16C at 6am this morning followed by crazy thunderstorms and several rivers to drive through. Somehow 19C forecast next week, crazy for end of October.
 
Still not even close to feeling cold, a few days have put on a long sleeved top, but as soon as I do anything remotely physical it has to come off due to sweat.

Room temp averaging 18.5 to 20C.
