It's quite sad. I'm Scottish, but living in the Land of the Heathens and Murderous Swine (ie England) for the last 7 years has really messed up my internal thermometer. And London for the last 3 years has turned me into a total wuss.
That said, we (or technically 'they', bloody Londoners!) had frost this morning, so it was at least around 0 degrees. And I'm not wearing a fleece or anything yet, so I'm doing well
With right wind and rain those 4.5C can feel like -20C.
Remember last week, was some positive C`s outside, but it was blowing much and raining (the rain hited you from straight angel due to the damned wind) and it was bloddy cold. I had to walk a distance that takes 20 mins, and I swear, I have never in my entire life been that cold before. I was freezing the rest of the day and had a lot of pain when I was trying to heat up again.
To the topic, there was ice and ground front a plenty on the way to work this morning, thankfully the main roads were free of this but the little cyclepath I use to cut across two main roads was almost completely white and I had a lovely little sideways slide while cornering on it (and going downhill). Now who says bikes can't drift? Thankfully with good use of countersteering I didn't come off.
This morning was rather warm for us Scots beleive it or not.
No ice on the windscreen and no ice on the roads either, had some mornings where the ice was to thick to even scrape off the windscreen and the roads are full of ice (I got a pleasent surprise when Takumi Mooney took over at 10mph! )
It's still hellova cold for us pour barstewards who work outside though, but even more so for those people whos boss was around to catch them laving early.
Wow - that's like the opposite of hear. Yesterday it got up to 76 during the day, which broke the previous winter warmth record by like 8 or 9 degrees (Fahrenheit). Tho in a few days it's supposed to snow, lol.
It's been getting down to about -15C here lately at night. Max of about -5C during the day. But where my brother has moved to in Canada he's going to be getting -40C before long, so it's comparatively pretty warm here!
