Record -35°C in S .Germany last night, the big lake in the center of town here is frozen 15cm thick so party on ice tonight with bier and sausage stands

[feral]

Ive been seeing the reports about the extreme cold here in Germany on the news .By some miracle it's passed this little spot by and the lowest we've had so far is -8°

[Libby]

The coldest we've had on the South Coast UK so far is -8. It's still freezing today, the car is completely iced up, so's the garden. Rain is on it's way and milder temperatures here so they say. I think i'd sooner have the cold and dry weather, i hate the rain!

[nicebutdim]

It`s the weekend and I`m still freezing!

[Libby]

I heard on the car radio today that apparently the weather experts got the weather wrong and the milder weather is on its way tonight. Tomorrow temperatures here on the South Coast UK will be nearer 7 degrees instead of an average of -5 like it has been lately during the day. It's been freezing again here today so far.

The last few days here in Cumbria have been fairly mild (grey, overcast, and drizzly)

But at least it isn't freezing

[Libby]

The big freeze has headed South then lol! Brrrrr! Freezing here!

[sweet soul]

Today has got to be the coldest day of our winter so far. Blimey its been frosty and freezin all day!

[Libby]

Took a can and a half of de-icer this morning just to clear the windscreen and then the car frosted up inside too! lol! Sick and tired of it!

[nicebutdim]

I need stabilisers on the Ducati; the road`s are lethal.

[sweet soul]

I saw a duck in a hat too ;-)

[puffin]

It's never thawed out today here in the Fylde. Roll on tomorrow. I'm tired of being cold.

[Libby]

Me too! I can't remember ever being so cold for so long! It's exhausting!

[sweet soul]

I just had xmas pudd and rum sauce to warm me up. It did the trick

[Libby]

Darn it, all ours got eaten on Christmas Day! lol! I'm just drinking gallons of hot drinks to keep warm - trouble is i keep having to leave the fire in the lounge and nip off to the cold loo at the back of the house brrrrrrr!

[Beachcomber]

I made a chilli for our evening meal and added the usual amount of fresh chillis. I left it simmering whilst watching the news on TV and my wife added another handful assuming I'd forgotten.

We had to have a litre of orange juice each to wash it down.

(on the plus side - my sinuses are now clear)

[Beachcomber]

There are meteorological factors that suggest a decent summer is on the cards. We rely on the Gulf Stream to send warm ocean currents our way every year. Since 2006 it's been somewhat lacklustre; but during the last couple of months it's been revving up for action. Then there's La Nina, the name given to an atypical cooling of the tropical warm waters in the Pacific. Usually this process happens once every few years; recently, you won't be surprised to hear, it's hung around, stubbornly sending bad weather our way. By spring, however, it should have disappeared.

Looking good then thank goodness!

So that's the secret in the big freeze folks, double up on your fresh chillies to warm your cockles lol!
