Proper 'taters today, real feel is -11

Interesting at least here it is quite a penetrating cold, despite being around 4-5C if you are out in it you quickly lose body heat like it is in the minuses - there doesn't even seem to be any real wind chill factor which might contribute to that.

The gene pool up here is " shallow" compared to down south when it comes to constant blondes....
Everyone tends to work out and is sporty (not me) so that goes a long way too.

My wife, no im not gay, a surprise to even me, is from the northern sweden gene pool, short fat eskimo with pretty eyes and a lovely smile... looool
A lot of women up here are "frontier" types, can shoot and skin a moose then make you meatballs in 30 mins whilst chopping wood and looking after the kids. I live in the wild west.. (north)

Cold, isolated and inbred? That does sound like where you'd fit in

Have a 20 year old boiler with 1 knob. It's still working. Gas engineer said don't bother replacing it until it breaks.

So how are you standing up to this cold weather? Emigrated somewhere warmer or just gone into deep hibernation?

Winning at winter.

Time to get the Pierogi on and have a shot of Vodka for the sake of it

Never need an excuse for pierogi and vodka, my liver hates me

I don't see it amounting to much but now forecasting light snow here (south Somerset) Thursday into Friday and temperatures over the weekend dropped off a lot on the BBC forecast.

Finally put heating on for a few hours to get the living room up and to a bearable temp (16c) as it was almost 10c this morning.

Just paying the big gas bill! Only heating the room I'm in.

Its expensive. But at least I don't pay petrol for commute and still on a cheap tariff

 

[caff]

Does anyone use a heated jacket or gilet etc. for working from home during winter? Just wondering if it's worth the expenditure...

I've got my doubts though - would I have cold hands & feet?

Not had to defrost the car in about 2 years. Doesn't really get cold along the coast.

Sick of this cold weather already, **** off winter

After a few days? You need to move country TBH. We are in Winter in the UK, what temperatures did you expect at this time of year?

Anyone else have really bright moonlight last night and this morning? -1c now and everything frozzed in the garden again. Met Office saying a max of 2c here today, clear and sunny again. Walk to work will be beautiful

Condensation on the windows this morning with internal humidity at 50%, will look again at a PIV to see if it helps.
