supposed to be golfing tomorrow morning. Forecast is -2, "feels like" -7. Can't say I'm too keen.

I played today in 0 degree and only felt like -1 was ok. Friday on the other hand feels like -5 apparently, longed that off and booked a fitting instead lol 🤣

it was -5 here this morning and another dumping of snow overnight so decided to cycle in on my Fatbike. Took a bit of a detour to get a decent ride in. off road was fine, but had half a mile of main road to navigate, its got pavement, but it was un rideable from snow off vehicles and over hanging trees that has frozen. it was like riding on slippery rock. a harder workout than i was expecting and was sweating buckets getting changed at work.

Snowing again at the mpment

First time I've ever had to use my ice scraper on the inside of the car
And the gearstick would hardly move...I guess the oil thickened.
It moved smoothly, just very slowly.
Once everything warmed up it was back to normal....

Our pipes froze outside the kitchen window this morning - not happened in the eighteen years we’ve been in this house.

Daft thing is that its been colder...it was "only" -5 here last night feeling -10
We've had -10 feeling like -bloody hell and the car has just been frosty on the outside......

Crazy driving on our local single track roads.
How a BMW driver expects driving at 50 mph on a blind bend, into a blinding low sun, in frozen conditions, entering a 20mph village is acceptable is beyond me.
Me and the dog are OK but the driver looked a bit shaken. (y)

At least three accidents within a mile of our village today.

Not played golf since Dec 16th, but have been roped in for a game on Monday. I'm easily led.
Forecast for tee-off time says 9°C and 40mph wind. Should be fun!

Just back from walking the dogs, absolutely tipping it down. Going to do so all day according to the forecast. Course closed, and likely to be so for the next few days at least. Really can't remember a worse winter for golf.
