pmwww | [UK] Cold Spell (6th Jan 09 at 1:27pm UTC) | | http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7812861.stm
Quote: Severe weather warnings have been issued in some parts of the UK as temperatures dipped as low as -11C (12.2F) overnight.
The Met Office issued alerts for the morning in parts of south-east England and northern Scotland.
Cold weather is expected to continue, with lows of -10C forecast for southern England and Wales into Wednesday.
So have you been affected by this cold snap?
DOwn in sussex we've not been it as hard as other parts of the country (which is normal, being down south) but i'm still not looking forward to driving in it

pmwww | Re: [UK] Cold Spell (7th Jan 09 at 2:12am UTC) | | Hahaha, -10 is a severe weather warning in the UK? For us, that's regular winter temperatures.
We don't get temperature warnings unless if it's -30 or -40; it was -18 this morning. | |

It is currently -1 (-8 with windchill). By tomorrow morning it will be -24 (-34 with windchill).
Now THAT calls for a windchill warning

True, but you're used to it! If we have cold weather over here, the entire country comes to a standstill | |

pmwww | Re: [UK] Cold Spell (14th Jan 09 at 2:43pm UTC) | | Some more to make almost everyone here feel better about their weather, including me. In Winnipeg (where I had lived for 5 years), it is currently -36 (with the windchill making it feel like -50).
Enjoy your tropical weather everyone | |

I live in the Northeast US. We rejoice if we see 20F after November.

pmwww | Re: [UK] Cold Spell (16th Jan 09 at 12:36pm UTC) | | I don't think it's a case of being a 'wimp', more a case that we aren't all that used to those sort of temperatures as we have a much more temperate climate. | |
