    It's definitely getting colder at night. I went back to turning on the central heating on at night last week. I haven't needed to have it on at night since April.

    Dreams fled away, this country bedroom, raw
    With the touch of dawn, wrapped in a minor peace,
    Hears through an open window the garden draw
    Long pitch black breaths , lay bear its apple trees,
    Ripe pear trees, brambles, windfall-sweethened soil,
    Exhale rough sweetness against the starry slates.....

    yeah, i guess

    seems we only get some summer somewhere late may / early june. anything else in this place is winter to me. good climate for gettin some miles in, but it has to be cold enough here for the sun to shine it seems - i know most folk here r in their element in the cold, we're too used to it.

    What the f*ck is everyone on about? Cold, my arse. Yesterday was lovely - sunshine all day. I even had dinner out on the patio & today it was 16 degrees at 10am!

    Jesus H - people need to man up... if the temperature's go over 20, someone starts a thread complaining about the heat, if they go below that, it's too friggin cold. FFS - it's not like this kinda weather doesn't happen every f*cking year.

    The temperature is falling fast, this morning when I awoke it was the first time since April that I had condensation on the glass of the window, meaning that the outside temps are falling. I hope we get another freezing winter, at least they are winters unlike the usual crap of rain.

    In Ireland, Autumn starts in September. That whole August being Autumn thing is just American influences that filtered into our brains as kids. Like, thinking about what months most of think are in what season, you can't consider most of August to be Autumn (it's only getting cold on the 29th/30th this year), just like you can't consider February to be Spring.

    +1,000,000!!!

    The amount of people that give me looks that would kill when I say that I loved last winter is unreal! I can't understand why people didn't like it.* Would they really prefer rain (which means you'll be cold anyway cos you'll get wet) and wind (which means the rain is horizontal rendering umbrellas useless)?

    *I do drive so I remember what the roads were like, but other than that, last winter was the best ever in my 23 years since I was sent to this cold, wet island by the sky fairy/spaghetti monster/Jebus/whoever you want to think sent me here.

    I do drive also but with careful planning and winter tyres the weather last had zero effect on my driving. If Irish people paid attention to the weather and had their cars in any decent sort of condition they'd have managed fine. I have driven at over 100mph with Winter tyres on at -7c, albeit on the German Autobahn in Winter.

    I'm not disagreeing...
    But...
    Meain Fomhair- Middle of Autumn- September
    Deireadh Fomhair - End of Autumn- October

    When did they change Autumn?

    We very very rarely get that kind of cold, which is why the councils were caught off guard, so you can hardly hold it against people for not having chains and specialised tyres.

    It has been getting a tad nippier iin the evenings and the evenings are also getting noticably shorter but hey that's always the case at the end of Summer.

    Autumn is less than 2 days away. The days are great weather wise. Dry, clear skies and sunny.

    As for fires, how about warming your bones beside a burning church?:cool:

    Afraid you couldn't have gotten that more wrong.

    In Ireland, it is the months of Autumn, September and October that make up Autumn. You're quote is from Met Eireann, which is examining the meteorological seasons. You can read a bit more about it here. Likewise, in the US, "Fall" doesn't start until September. Therefore, I'm afraid it's you who has been under the "american influence".

    Yea it was bloody cold last night, no clouds either, the heat from the day just disappeared as soon as the sun went.


    The doors of the car had frozen a bit last night when I was leaving for work at 5.30am, so yea it was cold :)


    I have to agree with number10a, I'm looking forward to another (hopefully) freezing winter :)

    I was freezing this morning and there was condensation on my car so it must have been cold last night. I don't mind, I like winter/cold weather :)
