Won't be long before you see snow Ken! Is it me or does this year seem
to have gone very quickly from summery and bright to wintery and dark?

It's due, end of Oct beginning of Nov is not uncommon for us.

Is it me or does this year seem to have gone very quickly from summery
and bright to wintery and dark?

The dark is the clocks shifting, but it has been unseasonably mild
during Sept and Oct.

Almost had to scrape the windscreen at 0530 this morning but a few
passes of the wipers cleared the wet ice. B-)

Not really - I haven't even been close to recording my first frost yet.

I've noticed it getting dark too Dave, mind you, I notice it most years around this time! *))

Dunno about wintry; nowhere near a frost in Dawlish so far.

Hi, Dave,
No snow yet I hope, although I suspect there will be some on the higher fells today. Great Dun Fell is reporting 0C atm.
Current W force 6/7 here, one of those heat-sapping winds. You think the house is well insulated (:0(

Quite a bit of sleet in the heavier showers here this morning. The Velux window
is an excellent detector for solid stuff in the precipitation :-) In this wind
direction we get a continuous stream of showers developing as the wind off
Liverpool Bay is forced to rise over the high ground.

Just over 1 C now (1430) we are about 6 C with sunny intervals. Can't
see GDF from here, Crossfell is to backlit by the bright sun lit
clouds to be anything but black buldge.

Only showing F3/4 here but the NW'ly direction is a sheltered. It's
not a day one wants to spend very long outside in the wind. Not bad
if in the sunshine and sheltered though.

No sign of showers here, think we are just in the rain shadow of
Dumfries & Galloway.

Oil consumption has gone up in the last couple few weeks from around
25 l/week to 75 l/week. B-(
