Knew I wasn't going crazy.

Was out and about last night wondering why I was wearing a jacket. Woke up this morning and it was just as mild/warm!

I love it mind you, hate morning runs when it's freezing! More of a mild guy myself, mainly because I just hate cold when there's no snow!

Were you still wearing the jacket in bed?! :-)

What do you mean?

I don't know, like wearing thermal gloves, hats and scarfs in 13+° C weather. Over heated hospitals, shops, restaurants, DARTs, air conditioning struggling to keep the temperature at 23°C for no good reason. Just waste in general because they don't want to think.

3 nonsensical posts in 3 minutes criticising 3 different posters :rolleyes:

I am ranting a bit. But I can't be the only one who notices that Irish people think they live in a Scandinavian climate when it's at worst 10°C out?

Are you on holidays there?

White Xmas
Glasgow 2/1
Derry 11/4
Galway 3/1
The latest charts are giving this a chance in these areas,so worth a few euro for the laugh even though it's still FI,but the price will come down fast in a few days if it holds or upgrades.

Nope, just spotted it on Reddit, thought people here might be interested that the snow fairy has moved to the Mediterranean.

That is true, I apoligise for my post there, I didn't know where you were coming from, I thought you were having a go at someone for an inocent post......I've spent a lot of time on AH recently

Anyway hopefully the models will throw up some nice surprises for Christmas and give us all a good reason to dress up like Eskimos

All the info is there. Updates every 3 hours.

Edit: Actually I didn't notice before, but if you click "earth" a menu come up allowing you to change time and height (showing the jet stream for example).
