I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm sick to the back teeth of winter. In the UK, that is. Our climate sucks arse.
+100000
Just need to replace "UK" with "Paris". The 2 centimeters we got last night were all gone by the morning. After numerous light snow and sleet episodes, the layer is back tonight. About 30 hours of this mascarade only to get one freaking inch.
It's made more annoying by the fact that many others have a really good snow pack due to having cloud all day or constant showers. We had blazing sun yesterday which did a good job of melting a lot of the snow. Remains around 3cm deep in front garden but patchy and icy. Yuck. Oh well, it's very cold.
Im tired of the hot nights Not even a/c does it for me. I mean, i should have it on all night long for this crazy hot appartment to cool down a bit, but then i would have to go beg at the streets for moneny. Im gonna wait until my first electricity bill arrives (i got my a/c in mid november, so my first bill should be here soon) and see how expensive it is, until i live the a/c on all night long. For now, at night i only turn it on 3/4 hours before going to sleep and a bit while im on the pc/read in bed, and then turn it off just before getting asleep. The problem is that after i turn it on my appartment heats up real fast and when i wake up my appartment is an oven
oh well, summer
at least i can sleep now
this time last years i was putting ice cubes over my body so they melted while i got to sleep, lol, that was bad.
The forecast is simply unbelievable here, we must be in a very blocked weather pattern because the winds are pretty much east to west for the forseeable future with this stupid -8 degree frigid rubbish and snow being forecast for at least the next TWO WEEKS. If it was summer, this would be like getting 2 weeks of 35°C weather but of course that NEVER happens. This really is becoming another repeat of December 2010, I wonder why we are getting such severe cold snaps like this in winter so often in recent years, in addition to our new found subarctic wet and overcast frigid cold summers. I long for the return of Britain's climate from the early 90's to the mid 2000's which seems to have buggered off back in 2007 leaving us with anemic cold drizzly "summers" and this rubbish.
What a f@ggy lame BS start to 2013... just like 2012 again. Boring cloudy first week of January then another soon-to-be record siberian deep freeze with the typical ice wrecked sidewalks/pavements making the shortest of walks lethal. Heating bills enormous. Grrrr. Rrrrrrrrrr. Grrrr rrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrr. We'll better have a blistering scorcher of a summer this year or on my daily weather rating system 2013 might end up scoring below 1 / 10 in total, another "record". This country is great if you love the cold, terrible if you want summers!

Two weeks of -8C and snow? Sounds great (to me anyway), especially considering the weak winters you normally get.

That's how the climate change rolls, baby . Perhaps Reykjavik's description will eventually be transferred to the Wikipedia article on Buxton :

Temperatures very rarely drop below −15 °C (5 °F) in the winter. This is because English coastal weather in winter is moderated by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The climate is subpolar oceanic (Koppen Cfc), and the city is on the northern edge of the temperate zone. The city's coastal location does make it prone to wind, however, and gales are common in winter. Summers are cool, with temperatures fluctuating between 10 to 15 °C (50 to 59 °F), sometimes exceeding 20 °C (68 °F).
Of course you know I'm just kidding. I do realize that this is the unhappy thread, and I had no intention of twisting the knife, so to speak.

Well that's the problem, it is great to you. But imagine how much you would enjoy two weeks of 32°C and 25°C nights in summer. That is how bad this cold snap feels to me, if you get what I mean.

There are two facts here: I love it, and you hate it. We all have our differences and I try to make it clear that I speak for myself. That isn't a problem if you're tolerant of and curious about other points of view.
