Minus 5 at 10:00 this morning when I got in the car. Now just over zero.

How do we survive?
Appropriate clothing.

Are you high up? We are just as landlocked and are +1?

[exile]

Yes J
900m+ or 3000ft in old money.

Edit to add: Do remember that Lac Leman acts as a heat sink as well.

Absolutely pouring down

Same here this morning Pathca, I got my jobs the wrong way round, I’d planned to do leaf clearance this morning. However, I should have predicted the rain I cleaned my outside windows yesterday morning before doing indoor jobs.

Not sure the mutts will get another walk today, it's tipping down!
Was just damp around 9am so they had a good run then.

I don't know what the temperature is outside - but it's blooming freezing in here. Wet grey and miserable just like me today.

It's stopped chucking it down, and it's actually much warmer out than in! Fires already lit, but I'm still debating whether to just go outside .....

We had a torrential downpour about 9am. Then the sun came out and it felt quite mild. But, there's more rain forecast and then several days of it ......... Biggles is clearing leaves off the 300m driveway ......... It's lined with conifers, but the oak leaves still manage to get blown onto it.

Sunny here at the moment after a wet and miserable morning. It's supposed to struggle up to 10° this p.m.

Missed the swim yesterday, not because of the 0 air temp and the probably -4 pond (though the surface wasn't iced over, probably because of the trees), but because I had a lot on my hands to do. This morning though nice and warm at +10 and the pond very refreshing. My first December swim, and it won't be the last. Now I am sitting here glowing, but I will have to put on the wool lined smock in the next hour as the after glow kicks in.

The floating thermometer in the pond can no longer be read, water has leaked into the tube and muckied it too much, so I will just have to guess from now on.
