I left my thermometer outside between 8.30pm and 9pm, and it registered at -3C. Feels like it's going to get even colder.

Brrrrr!

Aye, its always the English (presumably) who are the first to complain about the weather.

I'm not complaining. I prefer cold weather to hot, and I always look forward to a real winter. My post was merely informative. We have had too many mild winters, in my opinion.

I only dislike the cold when it comes with rain.

Frost and snow are fine with me.

It's about time we had a proper winter since far too many of them have been too mild. I too love the snow and crisp chilly air.

The only real down side is the greedy morons running the energy companies will be making the most disgusting profits and many will bankrupt themselves trying to pay their ransom money... either that, or freeze. So, if we do get a full fledged winter, unfortunately it's likely to be a hard and depressing one for a great many.

Screw nationalising the banks... gas and electricity should had been re nationalised. But no... that would be sensible, generous and lead to losses of Profit and that is all that matters these days - Profit... whether it be holding everyone to ransom over bills, or making false allegations to sell to newspapers... resulting in farcical "trials" in which the Police, Media, solicitors and lawyers make tons of cash.

As predicted on here in the thread GLOBAL COOLING - the scientists have spotted a significant reverse in the last few years in the warming trend which started mid 70s and continued until 2003.

The lack of Sunspot Activity means that we could be seeing several years of very cold weather - and snow in October is the first sign of this. We could see temperatures go back down to pre First World War levels.

If sunspot activity continues not to take place then we could once again see the Thames Freeze in places where the water flow is slowed ( one of the reasons why it iced over was the bridge footprints )

Carbon is a pollution problem and possibly increases temperature. But the main driver of weather ( and this is incredible ) is something bright and yellow in the sky called the SUN ! This seems to have been ignored by the political classes of all parties who have seen climate change as another opportunity to tax poor people to the hilt whilst the rich continue to travel in their private jets -helicopters - and limos.

I doubt gas and electric prices would be any cheaper if they were nationalised. We'd also face the prospect of constant strikes and blackouts, just like before they were privatised.

Yes quite. Anyway, ahem, getting back to the weather. There's something quite nice about a settled crisp winter's day. Unlike the usual rain and wind of late, one can wrap up and enoy the outdoors. It can be a really special time of year.
