15 hours here - it is dire. The only thing to commend it is the low
heating bills. I've slept with the window open every day this month - I
often have to close it in the summer!

Same here!
I know I moaned about the snow last month but I have a feeling that 's the
only snow we will see year and indeed maybe the whole Winter
The mild stuff's ok when it's dry and the sun pops out once in a while.
I'm afraid most of the time all this set up brings is endless days of
total dross!


Agreed it's the pits. Made even worse by people saying "at least it is mild"
as if that is any consolation for perpetual gloom and dampness.
Give me sun and -10C any day, or even sun and +10C, or even sun .... what's
that you ask?

'At least its mild'. Because, fortunately, it is and it is far more preferable to lowland snow and ice before Christmas. This Christmas is highly likely to be green and mild for most; exactly what Christmas travellers - including my family - need! Snow and ice would add up to a Christmas nightmare for so many.

We had a couple of hours of sun in Dawlish and 14C (yet again). Back to murk now, but this murk is far more preferable to the white stuff in the run-up to the 25th.
