Bring back the cold, it's much more pleasant in a Teesdale winter!

Exactly Ken. I have just come back from a 15 mile walk in F6-7 winds at
altitude, rain and drizzle. Air temperature was 6C-8C but wind chill was
close to freezing. In December I walked in a foot of powder snow with the
sun shining and light winds and it felt warm and you could see!

The dreaded SW'lies in winter, don't you just love them.
