It is soggy and grey, but hey ho, its winter 

[wighty]

Dry, but very overcast and  dismal.  I keep looking out the window at things that need doing but they aren't going to get done.

[Lardman]

Cool again a +5c, grey, dark and constant drizzle. Seriously considering going back to bed.

Cool again a +5c, grey, dark and constant drizzle.

Similar here, what I call wet fog - no actual rain, but everything in the fog gets saturated. Nasty stuff

[John]

Warm at 10șC, on off drizzle, quite still and foggy. Not the best of days.

It is really grey and drizzly here.   Not at all nice or Christmassy for that matter

It's forecast to be frigid here in subtropical Georgia  this morning. By 9:00 AM, it will be 6 degrees F, that is -14.4 C    , and winds forecast 15 to 25 miles per hour, with gusts to 40 mph  possible.  It is not that cold and windy yet though, it is 8 C at 1:00 AM., with a 6 mile an hour wind.

See my diary post re: trying to keep vegetables in the raised beds alive.

Stay safe Subp & family, storm Elliot looks horrendous - fingers crossed for you all.
and here am I moaning about our weather 
It's 9C, persisting down and overflowing the gutters, again!  So, of course the footpath is flooded...

Sounds foul SP. Hope you at least have your heating / hot water sorted now.

We have a repeat of yesterday +6c, grey, very dark, dank but the drizzle has now also turned to rain. Another day for finding this to sort in the house.

[snowdrops]

Rather cold at times, dark & rainy all day.

Greetings from subtropical Georgia.
The cold was not as bad last night as forecast, but did drop from 9 C to -7 C in 6 hours.  The wind are not as bad now; at their worst, 20 mph with gusts to 46 mph at the airport a mile from here. RIght now, it's -4 C and sunny with a brisk wind out of the west.

At daybreak, I had to make some adjustments to the covers over the raised beds.  I will check again before sunset, as tonight's forecast still calls for -13 C.  I'm not removing those covers until at least Tuesday after Christmas.

The weather got into our cable connection hardware, but a service call has fixed that.

A week after Christmas?  19 C with a few showers are forecast on New Years Day.

[Lardman]

I'm not removing those covers until at least Tuesday after Christmas.

I'm beginning to feel the same way about my duvet.

+5c this morning, it's stopped raining but everything is absolutely sodden. There's a brisk breeze making it feel cooler than it is and with the cloud cover it's still dark and dank.

[mumofstig]

Still grey and damp, here, but much brighter than yesterday and 7C, so far.

Greetings from beautiful subtropical Georgia, and Athens, in the Georgia Piedmont.

It is a brisk 7 degrees here at 7:15 this morning.  That is 7 Fahrenheit (old money), which is how we roll here, but -14 C to the rest of the world.  Can't tell you it's sunny (because it's still pitch dark), but I can report that it is clear. The temperature is probably a record low for the date (film at eleven).

We are not the coldest spot in Georgia right now.  That honor (?) goes to a small weather station on the east side of Sassafras Mountain in Pickens County, Georgia.  It is -4 F there right now (that's -20 C).

I looked it up, the record cold for December 24 is 3 F, so today's cold is not a local record.

Thing is a lot of the infrastructure in the more southern states won't be built to handle this - costs must be astronomical.
I've experienced -30șC in Norway but my pal's triple glazed, super-insulated lodge was cosy warm.
