There's been a complete lack of any proper cold weather here in Penzance so
far this winter.

The lowest max was on 5th December, and it still reached 9.0. It did feel
cold though in a strong east wind.

Today, in the cold? air the temperature reached 10.8. With hazy sunshine and
virtually calm conditions it felt very pleasant. I went down to the Battery
rocks near Penzance Prom, and there were people swimming without wet-suits.
The sea temperature is still 12 degrees.

Still we did at least get a few air-frosts back in Jan/Feb. In 2002 there
were no air frosts all year.

Are they mad! I thought it was the Geordies that prided themselves on their
hardness!

Hi Graham,

If it's any consolation, even up here on Dartmoor it's not felt too much like
winter either. Last day of snow falling was way back on Oct 22nd, zilch since
then, and hardly a frost either. True, quite a few days with maxes in the range
4-6 deg C but today was above normal at 7.4 deg C. Still it's all about to
change soon and I expect to see hard frozen ground in the not too distant
future.

Cheers,

Will.

Cynical? Me?!
Perhaps. Better to poo poo snow at +144 then to go overboard with
anticipation. I'd rather be wrong by saying it won't happen rather than
wrong saying it will.

Well you know they get irritated easily over there. More so when its
something they don't want to hear.

Are you getting an invite to Will's ?
