Winter 2023/24 - It's FREEZING!

Despite some of the more clear cut pattern changes, etc. there is still a lot of wildcards - some of the distribution of heat and/or where oceans are cooling or warming, etc. aren't really well understood in the context of this El Nino change and with poor or non-existent historic analogues to go by.

Overall there are very strong signals for a cooler and drier winter than average, but I'm not disheartened by the indications of lower than average snowfall potential as the setup should work towards rather than against, as has been the case in recent years, snow when it is in the offering and it looks like areas of high pressure should more often be in the right place for us with this setup.

Sounds promising. Looking forward to nice sunny crisp winter days .

I much prefer a colder but drier Winter than warmer and wet

Cool, crisp and sunny mornings. Lovely.

How come so many hate water outside? Just treat it as a free shower.

Also the extreme temperatures, either freezing or tropical temperatures. O_o Not comfortable mild temperatures.

Warm summers and cold crisp winters are as it should be.

That breeze is a bit chilly, might need to put more clothes on than shorts and a t-shirt!

Stop crying ya’ll.

You all cried in the it’s too hot thread now some of you are crying cos it’s too cold.

Pffffff

Got to reset all the plants and kill quite a few bugs. That is what winters are for. Recently a few things are acting like spring has sprung then getting killed by the heat again.

We need a month of very cold and a warmer wet month each side of that.

5c when i got up this morning and let the dogs out .. shock to the system

 

[silversurfer]

Can anyone post me any good deals for stocking up on wood for a stove/burner. I cant remember what is a good price each season

and kill quite a few bugs.

and rats and termites. Quite a few things transition across from europe if we dont get snowfall on the ground for at least a few days every year

Secret here is massively thick walls to the house, retains heat during hard winters and house is cool during summers. Opposite to this would be anything thinly built, metal etc. with windows its a glasshouse

Harvest your own trees, plenty wood about.
