I'm so fed up of opening my curtains to grey. When is spring coming? Its so depressing.

Can't stand excess heat either that is true

Probably would prefer grey and cold to over 40

But there are so many more pleasant variations in between!

Often it seems that these are given as the only 2 options.

I can't wait to be able to only need to wear underwear and a dress when WFH - no jumpers, no socks, no shoes, no putting on several layers when leaving the house.

It must be all the moans about the summer heat that bring it on.

Snowmanscarf · 17/02/2025 12:06

Blue skies today, but chilly. Could get warmer towards end of week.

wherearemypastnames · 17/02/2025 12:05

Oh look
Dark skies and light snow

You can see that December was certainly gloomier than usual. For January it's been more variable. It certainly feels like it's been wetter and greyer in my bit of the SE this winter - hardly any day goes by when I don't need to take a raincoat. It's so lovely to see some sunshine.

We have semi-sunshine in Leicestershire today!!! Its still behind a thin veil of cloud but definitely more there than it has been for ages! Very cold though but at least the mud was frozen on my dog walk Grin

Getting neater and nearer March 1st which is always abit of a turning point.
We have done the 4 horrible winter months.

I expect winter to be cold.
However there are various versions of winter weather - even in the UK- other than just grey, breezy and drizzle

It's quite possible to have cold but sunny days in winter, as well as dull ones!

I did a 10k race this morning , it was dull , a tad windy, and very chilly (2°) before and during the race. I did a 1 mile cool down jog afterwards and the sun briefly came out and that made a big difference even though it was still cold, and still winter
It didn't last long, but it was nice for about an hour!

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 16/02/2025 17:08

I'm with you OP. And it's so cold today.
I absolutely hate the winter. Im lucky in that I'm retired and would normally be able to spend a few weeks somewhere a bit warmer, and we did get away just after Christmas but then I had to have surgery in January. So I'm here and miserable. Pissed down all day yesterday. Cold and grey today.

Bloody freezing here too

Well no you don't have to enjoy it but if we didn't have the jet stream it would be even worse, far colder. I probably am not that bothered about it.

But I and most of the posters are. We are allowed to have a moan about the weather.

I’m going to guess you don’t enjoy small talk @IVFmumoftwo 😆
