It was -3 on my car themometer when I left work at 2.30 this afternoon.  I'm going to put a thermometer outside now and report back in half an hour.

Cold and wet here today as well. The rain has washed a lot of the snow away but there is water everywhere and still snow on roofs.


Last night it was really bitterly cold. My husband and I drove into twon at 8.30pm to pick our son up from work. A girl passed us wearing what can only be described as a bikini top. She had at least a foot of belly and hips showing from just under her boobs. Nothin on her middle, her shoulders, her arms or anywhere nuch from the waist up. How on earth did she not get hypothermia?

It's very cold here in the south-west this morning, so cold I had to drive with gloves on for the first time ever!

It's so cold here that I've turned blue! Luckily I have a floppy white hat to keep me warm...

I can't wear my hat in morning cos it makes my hair go flat. I know its vein but I quite happily wear it home.

Freezing here today. I have the heating on full and refuse to go out. There was a little flurry of snow yesterday but it didn't settle.

Well done CC, I know how you feel. At 6:58 I was sat in the ferry queue f-f-f-freezing!! When I got to the middle of the river snow started to fall and I haven't felt more like turning around and going home for ages but today was one of those days! You should have some nice warm soup for lunch, warm your cockles!

Its funny you should say that. I have a flask of home made fresh veg soup sitting on my desk 

I think my boss might let us go home early today!!

Heehee, I have lentil soup for lunch but I just bring a can and heat it in the microwave.


I can thoroughly recommend the non-stain plastic microwave saucepan from Betterware, I have heated all kinds of brightly coloured food in it and it does not go orange.

Not particularly cold here.  I had home-made veg soup for lunch too though - I made enough to feed an army last weekend.

Just as I read this, the guy on Classic FM was saying, "It's snowing in Walsall."  As usual, no sign of it here.  Quite cold though.

On a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 being freezing it's definitely a 9.75 here today.

Still cold and damp here. Not raining, but just 'damp' if you know what I mean. It gets into your bones and makes them feel sore.

It's a bit milder here today, althought it's much windier. I just realised my black cardigan has deposited black fluff all over my top and my chair!
