Does this mean I need to winterise the boat this year then? Be a shame to miss out on all those empty rivers and moorings, crisp bright mornings afloat and cosy nights by the fire in the pubs.

Haven't needed to for the past 12 years. Think I'll chance it again.

But, not including the Ayrshire coast !        The wonders of the Gulf Stream!

God I hope not I will be sick as a parrot , winter is my favourite time on the river piece and quiet , lovely crisp winter mornings the feeling that you have your own private river , this would be the sixth Christmas spent on the boat and I am really looking forward to it , we have done snow before so I need to keep everything crossed ...

If the forecasters are up to their normal standard, then drop the zero, it may come to 12 !

[CheshireCat]

You were fishing Steve saw you I was cooking the dinner , well if we pass you again we will say hello ...

I have just read your link to the scary headline about the weather.

 

If you read the whole script,  they hedge their bets all the way through by saying,

 

This does not dispel some very mild weather at times during the end of October and throughout the upcoming winter as the negative NAO may not be consistently negative throughout the remainder of autumn and the upcoming winter period.

"Despite this there will be phases of strongly negative plunges particularly from December to January.

"This will result in some very potent or potentially memorable periods of cold and snow within this period for many parts of the country, and despite some swings to milder weather at times, the colder periods of weather should be taken seriously and prepared for sooner rather than later, so that people aren't taken by surprise when these wintry blasts do occur."

 

Well surprise surprise - it is called Winter.

Unfortunately, the joys of record labels and You Tube mean the audio in this video has been muted - I am trying to resolve this by having you tube remove the offending track, and leaving the others to get audio back.

Is that still Britain, I lose track. Have they not voted to be new model Europeans yet?
