Captain Sausage Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Usually get to about now before I’m moaning about the cold weather. This year it was start of January. Sick of living half the year indoors because it’s dark, windy and freezing outside. Been genuinely looking at relocating to somewhere warmer but kids would miss their grandparents etc so stuck here for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only consolation is the nights are stretching out and the clocks change in a few weeks. Getting old, but I really dread the winter months now.

Sooperstar Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Started off pretty miserable but it's turned out not bad today. Have even managed to get the dog out for a walk after work a few times in the past week. Things are on the turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffin Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It really gets me down. In the last few years I've really started to feel I only enjoy 6 months of the year, which is pretty depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Gin Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 This year has been especially brutal so far. Constant barrage of stormy weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Салатные палочки Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 One good day yesterday (I even had the bins on driving home) and then back to dark and miserable today. It really does get you down. The last few weekends have been a complete wash-out. Spent the majority of time in the house, only going out with the wee one once so she could splash in puddles in her wellies. As mentioned above though, the nights are getting lighter and the clocks going go forward in a few weeks time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maple Leaf Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It'll be 8 degrees and rainy here today. A pleasant change after six weeks of cold and snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It's brutal. Storm after storm with strong winds on almost every day. Getting outdoors on my bike is the best thing I know for my mental health and the Komoot app shows how few times I've been out this year. I'm not a fair-weather cyclist either, don't care if it's light rain or a bit of wind and I'll go out, even if its cold. But you can't cycle or even go on a hike in wind so strong it takes your warmth away and makes it a struggle to make headway or catch your breath. It's Ok today in terms of light but yep, it's still windy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 All the rain keeps things nice and green. Scotland is a fertile place. Fresh water is already a hugely traded commodity on the world markets, and Scotland could do with getting in on the action instead of just letting it flow back into the sea. The storms are showing just how badly councils have performed in terms of tree maintenance. Well maintained trees don't blow over. Overgrown ones do.

I thought of you today strangely enough, it was -6 today with a really cold wind, there were two guys working on the roof of one of the bungalows, they were wearing hoodies and had on gloves, but the one guy was shaking his hands to get them warm. Not a high tenement just a bungalow but cold. I thought I wonder if riAlban is working roofs in these cold days, and there you are. I actually was hoping you were not but at home comfy.Instead you are there with your boy. See I actually worry for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Jetstream is the problem seemingly, so they were saying on the news this morning, it's currently sitting lower than normal, several hundred miles from where it should be, hence why we are getting storm after storm right now, it happens everytime the jetstream sinks lower.

Although our Ontario winters are cold and snowy, we also get a lot of blue skies and sunshine, which I much prefer to the dark, driech Edinburgh winters.
