[Misc] We're now halfway through the winter. But where is it?

[Hove Lagoonery]

Met Office counts winter as these three calendar months, so we have just entered the second half of it. Im middle aged but cant remember going anywhere near as far into winter with hardly any frosts. Its basically still Autumn, and if it stays like this how will the daffodils know when to come up??

Not long for daffys i have seen some sprouting in the local park. Early Feb if the frost stays away.

Left home this morning to see 3 daffodils in full bloom in the garden.

On 31st December I still had last year's tomato plants producing fruit in the sun room and a couple of next (this) year's daffs out in the garden.

Basically, winter has disappeared up its own jacksie.

I'd prefer frost to the current wind and rain

My fault. I bought a windscreen protector, not had a single frost since... Stupid thing still in its wrapper on the back seat.

I got some really expensive waterproof trousers from a Millets' closing down sale with about a year of Withdean left. Never used them.

Don’t worry about Winter, 69 % of snow recorded as laying in Brighton happens in Feb.

I'm sure there was a winter a few years ago where we didn't get any minus temperatures at all. Daffodils were definitely about this time last year as I've got a photo of the dog sitting next to them which came up on my google photo memories today.

Possibly 2013.

Well, the Express thinks it’s coming.



But, the Express always thinks it’s coming.

I’m fairly sure we had frost in December a couple of times.

I was in Worthing today and either saw a Christmas tree still up or put up very very early! Everything goes tits up this time of year - not just the weather!

Daffs are all through in my garden. a few are even opening.
Also plenty of squirrels in the trees which are normally not so active in the winter.

This was January 2010!

I'm sure that when I was a youngster growing up in Brighton in the late 70's and early 80's that winters were much colder, went on for longer and were also much snowier but I wonder if this really was the case or whether I'm just fondly looking back through snow tinted spectacles!

 

[symyjym]

I haven't put my heating into winter mode yet, but we normally get our winters in February early March these days.

 

[Badger]

It's arriving here in the next few hours (low of -13C tonight). Do you want me to send some over?

Hate the cold so I’m happy
