Freezzzzing

It's freezing here -5 in the shade now (is to get to -13) ..EIDW 6 miles away is reporting -9 and windchill is -13..we are supposed to have the coldest weekend for eons...it's now I wonder about my coax standards and max temps ...they look twice as big and white with snow and ice..earlier my main computer died when I tried to start it up ...it was suffering from a chill I think...Amazing to see EIDW still operating as normal....would love to hear from more northerly folk who can maybe beat these temperatures...Brrrr

You don't need to go north for cold temperatures!!.

We've just returned from a 1,400 mile trip to Devon and back.   One of the coldest temps we had was -16c in Devon on Thursday morning when we left to return home.   Absolute coldest was -18c on Friday morning at the Westmoreland Hotel just off the M6.  That was so cold that the spare bottle of screenwash I keep in the boot was frozen solid!!

Got back home in the far north of Scotland, and it's +2c and sunny, and my weather station shows only a low of -8.1c (in open air) and -6.1c (under cover) over the last week.  Since most of the airfields up here are on the coast, I'd imagine they've been equally "warm".

 

Must go and clean the car now - 1,400 miles-worth of salt :(

Thanks looks like interesting weather station set up Tarbat. Can I ask what it is exactly - i.e. the make etc. ?

It's a TFA Nexus - been using it for a couple of years now to monitor temperature, humidity, windspeed, rain, etc.

No need to drive to Devon I could have told you how cold it is on the edge of Exmoor!  Let me know when you come again and I will treat you to a cream tea.
Best wishes,  Dave.

Those are amazing figures Tarbat, I would never have thought it could get that cold and I guess it may get colder. More snow is due here tonight (a lot!) so I am staying in next to my computer!.

Thanks for the info Tarbat - looks good. Unfortunately it isn't available on the website mentioned on the other thread, though somewhere on Amazon market place it is going for £200. Any ideas on how to convince my missus we absolutely need one ?
