How Cold was it last night?

Got up this morning and it was -9 :shock:

My Surf has a thermometer that reads outside temp, but never heard of one on a motorbike.

I checked the Job car before I left the nik, Luckily the roads were dry.

I got a can of baked beans out my kitchen cupboard and they were near enough frozen inside too. Yes my kitchen cupboards do get that cold and the floor is even colder. I have a very thick rug on my kitchen floor! As you say, too bleeding cold!
-
Chilly? not here! I have been out on a Hobiecat this afternoon, I did get a bit wet but soon dried off in the sun.
Sometimes it's good having a job that takes you to the Bahama's in the winter!
-
Cold???
This aint cold....
-25 in the Arctic circle in November, now that was cold...
and we were living in shelters built from chritsmas trees....
The fish we caught for our tea were hung from a branch and had frozen solid in less than the 15 minutes it took us to prepare the cooking area and the Veg...I managed to slice my finger whilst chopping some pork and it didn't bleed til I warmed up three days later!
I know, theres always one
-
Tonight its -25 outside my office...
Alright its a coldsote ;)
-
spent most of today in a t-shirt chopping wood..... frost was forming on the dico 2 hrs ago.... just finished sweeping the chimney and cleaning the fire back out... we won`t be cold tonight! :lol:

It was a bit white over here this morning.
Up at 07:00 to let Dogs out & brew Tea
By 11:00, the Mondeo was still white-over, it stands in a shadow in the drive.
Chucked wifes bike (& 'Small-Childs' too) in the 110, as we were going to Pontefract Race-Course for a ride round the stewards/ambulance/camera car track (2miles, 125 yards - soI'm led to believe)
The 110 has been standing outside unmoved, unstarted, since last Sunday (when I drove to Greetland to do a Cyclo-Cross)
Therefore I was slightly uncertain whether it'd start - given the past few days early morning temperatures.
Need I worry??
It was 'On The Button' :dance: :dance:
Scraping all the windows clear was another story
However
Going out in the morning at 05:00 will be a 'rude awakening', as I've got to go back to work for 2 early shifts!!! :evil:
That's not on, after been off since finishing on Tuesday 29th January :P
Then...
I've got Wed, Thurs & Fri off.
Got to work Sat/Sun on earlies :evil:
Then I go eventually back to work - after a few more days off - on Wednesday 5th March
-
well my front lawn is north east facing and that has still got frost on it from this morning. :shocked:
-
I left home at 05.00 this morning in -8 and slowly got warmer until in Southampton where it stopped at 0.
-
My "water feature" was a bit frozen this morning, and I'm expecting the same tomorrow as it's down to -4 already.
-
just been out to get some wood, and its now gone down to bloody cold... (wouldnt take a wild wee, weather)
-
i had my club pub meet with the boys tonight, went out side for a smoke and my beer was colder then when it was poured.
Mmmmm ice cold beer :lol: :lol: :lol: and i'm still in t-shirts
-
i went to watch a road rally last night, :shock: was soooo cold, lost feeling in my feet :roll:
-
It aint cold here :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Just got back from a skiing holiday in Bulgaria with the wife and a few friends,

My battery died this morning, it must be cold!
Replaced it as it's a few years old and not showing any signs of life on the charger. Got very little warning though - just tried to fire it up for the first time in a week and no go.
-
freezing all weekend, spent it in leeds rewireing the landy, it was bloody cold :shocked:
-
i thought it was a great weekend, even pulled the soft top out for a play.
-
very odd days, t-shirts mid-day, padded shirts and two quilts by mid-night!

Rain!! yipee................ :roll:
-
Ice on the GC didn't go till gone 2 yesterday.....
still frost in sheltered places at 5.30 tonight....
-
Been cold here last few days suns out but the breeze has been biting, was still today had coffee sat on the patio at 10.00 this morning quite warm. Have to go get a load of logs tomorrow before we run out and the rain starts, nothing like a cozy log burner on a cold night :)
-
I just looked outside (big mistake, I had no shoes or socks on) and my cars are frosted over and there's freezing fog in the street 8-[.
-
i too have witnessed freezing fog... very odd thing indeed! (see my other post)

I remember once when I was on night patrol in the wilds of Norfolk, and we had to do a blue light run from one side of the County to the other, most of it in freezing fog. We couldn't work out what the stange 'thrumming' noise was coming from the roof, until we stopped and saw that and edge of ice over two inches thick had built up on the radio aerials, and that had caused them to oscilate (nice word!) causing the noise. Most odd!
-
It was certainly damn cold this morning. The fog froze around my leccy ariel and it wouldn't go down again. :shocked: the windscreen took me at least 5 minutes to scrape of with both hands on the scraper.
However.
The scenes with the trees full of white etc all day was just breathe taking (in more ways than one!! :lol: ) It was like loads of scenes from Xmas cards. Beutiful. :D

Did school-run in the Mondeo this morning. Surprisingly it didn't need the heated screens, as it was entirely clear
However, once home, I got changed & went out on the bike.
After less than 45minutes I was back home (at 09:50), I was simply too cold to go much further.
I couldn't feel my fingers (thick thermal gloves), feet (overshoes), or ears. Plus I was getting a Neuralgia type head-ache with the cold.
Almost 45 minutes later, despite 2 pints of tea, I'm still cold & having to keep correcting this, as I can't type properly
Might try again this afternoon, or have a run instead
