[northern]

-27°C and 6 to 8 m/s north-east wind this morning. Feels a bit cold... Waiting for summer..

We had -19 in the city, and -25 outside of the city in the morning. Now it's just -11 in the city. Spring starts in tomorrow!

The current weather condition does not support or deny global warming. We had the same low/high pressure in winter 1978/1979 As that was earlier in the winter months it was much more severe. In Germany we remember it as the "Snow Catastrophe." Our "Army" pitched in with tanks and helicopters. Many of the tanks got stuck. We are fortunate that it has come so late in the season. Currently our army would be hard pressed to find enough functioning tanks and helicopters to help out.

Bit like ours then

I'm wondering quite what you would do with a tank to help people in the snow? I have this mental image of squaddies trying to push a Nissan Micra using a Challenger 2 through the snow then some squaddie shouting er sarge I think this car is a bit flat!

Engineer tanks acted as snow plows but got stuck quite often when drifts were to high. Tanks were also used to evacuate stranded and sick people and bring supplies.

That all looks quite chilly. No wonder you winter your bikes.

A lot is being said about Europes icy blast.
Climate change we are told.
Where did Global Warming go ??

Climate and weather are different things. Every time there's a bit of hot or cold weather you get people using it as an argument for or against man made climate change, but it doesn't quite work like like that.

It looks amazing & beautiful, but to live with that snow would soon drive you Barmy  Great for a holiday, but that's about it.

Almost summer!! Only -19°C this morning!

[Andre]

We are supposed to get +5°C or more today. Woke up to more snow though I think I go back to sleep instead of shoveling the white stuff... it will melt away anyway. Tomorrow they forecast 10+C. Now hoping for some strong rains for a few days to get all that salt off the road.

[T 24]

Spring is coming!!  Only -18°C this morning. How I hate this f...... winter!

Finally arrived back at Bristol Airport at 9pm Sunday night after being delayed at Geneva Airport for 10 hours..Daughters wedding in the French Alps.
More bloody snow and had to practically dig the car out

Fairy tale setting for a wedding though and we had a brilliant weekend.
