Officially winter?

[veeeffarr]

So, is it? (I say yes!)

[Whosthedaddy]

Not really?

Cold, wet and some ice in the mornings but not too bad for nearly November.

Still got leather trousers on, cold love spuds yes, but not breaking the textiles out just yet.

I have changed to the textile jacket as its certainly more waterproof than the leathers.

[kitty kat]

I have taken to wearing a thermal top, but still wear a thin top over it and have still got leathers on. It is still autumn, sun, cold & a few showers (ok torrential downpour on Saturday resulting in flooding in the north).

No, it is still Autumn, a cold snap in Autumn can't be that rare.

I was working on my bike in shorts and a T-shirt today

[s44678]

As quickly as it seemed to turn from Autumn to Winter (i.e. 24 hours) you can bet your bollocks it can turn back again just as quickly.

So no, not just yet.

I dont think we have seasons anymore...

But BBC weather tells me that going to uni tomorow morning will be between -1 and 1 degree...

Chilly...

I was REALLY fucking cold tonight! As cold as the worst of last winter! You think I'm exagerating, I'm really not!

Although as some people have mentioned, it will probably be sunny in a few days! Fucking britain (doesn't even deserve a capital letter).

Hahah I bet it is was colder last year.

Every year you find the first month of cold weather FREEZING then everything after that isn't as cold.... until the first month again. Just takes time getting use to it.

So we have one little frost and people are shouting its winter.....
Thank god that the bit of snow that did fall was not in London or that would have been the end of the world, comming on top of the credit crunch


Council have been out gritting the DRY roads..... Dammed things are like riding on ball bearings... Then we have to be ready for the excuse that, come next year, should we have some snow or inclement weather, they won't have enough left and have spent their budget already...

Its not that cold yet. Not till you hear your gear crack as you are getting off the bike as it breaks the layers of frost that have formed and the breath in your helmet has frozen.....

I think that as a nation people are becoming far to soft as far as the weather is concerned. To much time in central heated houses and cars that have heaters that work.... Unlike the good old days where you used deicer on BOTH sides of the windscreen

Not that cold yet... and it's still sunny and the leaves are still on the trees... so no, not proper miserable, cold, rainy winter yet IMO.

[Whosthedaddy]

[Paivi]

Pfft, call this winter?

When I was young, it was winter when the snow was knee deep and it was -25C, until then it had been a fairly nippy autumn. We still had to ski to school and play outside during the recess.

Ah, happy days...

I went out at 8AM to uni this morning, the little droplets of water from last night had frozen solid to my cover, had to stand there for about 5 min shaking them all off... Cold enough for me thanks...

My cover was rigid this morning, my ignition was frozen solid, my hands got so cold that they felt warm, and my bike was missfiring and fouling its plug.

Cold enough thanks!

[nick606]

what the hell is wrong with you people I've had the textiles and thermal layers on for weeks now ! i am not a winter person i hate the cold.

[Clanger]

The leaves are still on the trees so it's officially still autumn...if you're cold that's your problem
