Default Boring January

Just seen Philip Eden's forecast for this week in Today's Sunday Telegraph.
My goodness this month is boring. Yet another mild week in store.

Mid January is now, usually, the herald of Spring, and it certainly 'looks'
that way at the moment.

Another FANTASTIC day here in Haytor. Warm January sunshine, 40 miles
visibility, light wind and frost persisting in the shade. Max temp 6.0 deg C and
temp. falling away again now. The only thing missing is a snow cover :-)

Spent the morning cleaning my UPVC Stevenson screen (new Met Office standard
with black slats inside) and sawing logs (ready for the cold spell end Jan/begin
Feb).

Yes it *could* be Spring but up here the weather can change in the blink of an
eye to gales, rain and fog which is definitely not Spring-like.

I'm going to enjoy the moment, accept what I'm given and go out for a long walk
in the countryside.

Boring it may be, but it's an absolutely beautiful day in SE England
today.

You are such a tease Will.
You've almost got me believing that the a new UK low temp record will occur in the next few weeks.
By the way, where do you get UPVC screens from?

Hi Rob,

I think there is only one supplier. I got mine from Jonathan Wright of Metspec
Ltd who delivered it personally ! See www.metspec.net for more info. The screens
are absolutely superb and almost totally weatherproof, but not cheap. Mine cost
circa £450 (without stand). I made my own stand out of wood.

Cheers,

Will.

Thanks for that Will, a lovely bit of kit.
Hope it is well secured against those gale force easterly winds early next week

Well I recorded our 1st air frost of the month this morning at Chester which is totally different from the previous 2 years.

Maybe all our frosts will come in the latter part of the month.
