A bit of nice snow yesterday and today. Not going to last, alas!
Wet Silvester ahead.

Got a good dump of snow after Christmas, and the temperature dropped soon after, so it should be here to stay.

Tomorrow it will be 6^oc at Midnight. Which will ge good for first footers.

Capitalism spoils things as usual. For the first time ever you have to buy a ticket to see the London fireworks display on the Thames. However, I can see them from my kitchen window for free.

Here in the United States we refuse to go Metric like nearly all the Globe--;therefore I was about 50 degrees F today , sunny. Very nice outside.

Griffin I would dearly love to see those fireworks over the Thames from your kitchen window one day.

[Griffin NoName]

Ababe, you'd be very welcome.

[anthrobabe]

Thank you dearest!

First snow and quite a lot of it.

What a waste! It's +3°C outside and nothing (but wet pavement) will be left by daybreak.

We, supposedly have snow in the north, but no idea if it has actually happemed. Vague suggestion of a scattering of snow in London, but I haven't heard any falling

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

What is this snow you talk about, much less falling from the sky?

We are in the low 70s F/low 20s C here, which is a much needed relief from the heat.

We've had a steady smattering of very pretty, very geometric snowflakes over the holidays, with a couple of decent snowfalls. The ski hill's in great shape; I've put in 10 days of skiing so far.

After a December that felt more like spring (+15°C at times) we have a very unpleasant early January. Although it is barely below zero, the wind is icy (the type I call x-ray wind).
No snow in sight, alas!

Meanwhile the North Pole witnessed for a time temperatures 50°C above normal due to a never before witnessed freak weather pattern (a record breaking pressure differential sucking warm air up from the South)

Here it just went down below 70F/21C since Thanksgiving. Cold for my birds (but not for me).

Like Swato, we had 15^o hot December. And the worst floods, hmm, well since last year. Also as Swato says, it is now unpleasant.
