Default Microclimate effects

Just wondered if anyone had any interesting microclimate effects around
their house or area. Today was our first morning of scraping frost from the
car here in Bristol. As usual, only one side of the car needed scraping -
the side that faced the road rather than the house. It's not a particularly
wide road so I am always amazed that there is such a difference between one
side of the car and the other.

Any other local effects?

Regards,

Simon



You need cavity wall insulation

Our house is 250 yrs old, so predated CWI by a long way - instead, some
of the walls are 18" thick, and yet frost still shys away from the
house. It's amazing how much heat is able to leech out of a house like that.
