So, whp's going to be brave enough to risk frost bite and hypothermia and get out on the water tomorrow?

Looks as though there should be a decent NE blowing and no doubt Ivor will add to that as well. It will be extremely cold though - I don't think any speed records will be broken whilst sailing in slush!

I've still got a cold so will have to wait and see whether or not I brave it.

HHmmm, I may go for half and hour and wear snow board gloves, ensuring I keep my hands dry. The only part of me that feels the cold is my hands. As Im sure youll substantiate Al, I cry rarther easy when they get cold!

i was in agony ysterday, went mountain biking and even with ski gloves on the wind chill killed my hands, not to mention my nose and face (was going to say cheeks but thought you lot would think i had my backside out!!)

car thermo was showing minus 5 in the hills..

still if we get a snow fall i'll be out

Well no cold water for me... I spent yesterday afternoon in a southern German outdoor thermal spring baths. Sub zero air, 34-40Deg C water and snow on the ground etc. Wonderful...

well looks like its warming up for the weekend with wind swinginground to the southwest ish and some sun

321 your back in the room

still bloody cold though

Just spent 4 days in the van by the river Severn just outside Kidderminster. Twas a real frost trap, -10C at night, and didn't rise above -2C during the day.

Most things froze, the van was almost entirely encased in ice.

Luckily there was a pub just a few yards way with real ale and a roaring fire, so I survived the ordeal rather well

Didn't find any snow to play on over the weekend but there is heavy snow forecast here tomorrow, so hope to head to the hills for some hiking and powder.

maybe 1cm of snow here today and that came about midnight, when it freezes over tonight it will be well dangerous! had the van heating on tick since saturday and its stopped the freezing. will be ready to go for friday, snow chains in and all!!
Spooks thank God for the pub and real ale eh!
got down to -15 and some both trips to the alps but with the heating ticking over all night no problems. enjoy.

Ive just order a pair of £20 socks. I dont feel the cold much and have done loads of snow biking, but my toes n fingers get it. Gloves I have sorted, hopfully the socks will work a treat as well. may be doing Canock on sat col, I thought Id have a break from the hills and meet a couple of mates to go round there. Is it worth a trip brummie massive?
