I can't believe it's December & we STILL haven't had a frost yet!

This has got to be the warmest December ever. Not once have I seen a frost yet. The odd misty morning but that's it. I live in a major city in the south. How is it for everyone else?

Really icy here in Worcestershire a couple of mornings last week. Very thick ice on the car windscreen.

Stormwhale · 09/12/2018 19:19

Not got the heating on though!

knowingkaleidoscope · 09/12/2018 19:22

I've had frost a few times here in Yorkshire.

MrsAmaretto · 09/12/2018 19:22

Well it was snowing here this afternoon in Shetland. That’s proper up north Munchmallow !

Toomanybaubles · 09/12/2018 19:23

We have had a few frosts (north) and it has been -6 a couple of nights, but, I still have penstemon and geraniums flowering in my sheltered garden. A few Lavender plants are in bud again - weird.

South west and it’s been very frosty.

October half term week we were in Cornwall and we had frost.

Justlikedevon · 09/12/2018 19:25

SE here. Couple of mornings of deicer before moving car.
There is blossom coming out on the tree out front.

Was walking the dogs this morning and have seen the daffs have already poked their heads up 😳 - but my garden is in some weird Bermuda Triangle and we tend to miss the worst of the weather.

PhannyMcNee · 09/12/2018 19:26

West Cornwall and we’ve had several frosts already which is quite unusual!

Titsywoo · 09/12/2018 19:26

I'm in Surrey and we had a couple of frosts in November. Winter seems like it might be another wet and mild one like we had about 5 years ago.

MsAwesomeDragon · 09/12/2018 19:27

We've had frosts quite a few times here in the North West. The coldest it's been on my way to work has been -4, but there's been a few weeks of hovering about 0/1.

dementedma · 09/12/2018 19:28

I think we have had two here in Central Scotland. so far winter has been wet, dull, grey and shitty. Hope all the summer haters who dominated the threads earlier this year moaning about a bit of sunshine are enjoying their "crisp, cold winter"

CormoranStrike · 09/12/2018 19:28

We’ve had frosts near Edinburgh

LoniceraJaponica · 09/12/2018 19:29

Which microclimate do you live in where it hasn't been cold yet? I would like to move there.

MadisonAvenue · 09/12/2018 19:36

We've had a couple of frosty mornings in the West Midlands, but I've noticed that leaves are starting to shoot on some trees.

Talkinpeece · 09/12/2018 19:38

Which microclimate do you live in where it hasn't been cold yet?
London, any large city centre, much of the south east

FairyBunnyAgain · 09/12/2018 19:53

Hertfordshire here, just one morning where I needed to scrape and I think I have worn a coat about 4 times. Otherwise I am barely above a long sleeve t-shirt.

GreenKangaroo · 09/12/2018 19:56

Don’t know where you live. I have had frosts in Heathrow, Leeds and Northampton this/last month.

Marmite27 · 09/12/2018 19:57

Had at least 1 in Leeds.

indyandlara · 09/12/2018 19:58

I’m scraping the car every morning on my way to work at 7.30. Then I’m scraping it again at 5.30pm to come home! South of Scotland.

PollyFlinderz · 09/12/2018 19:58

Already been in the minus degrees here in Scotland! Have had to scrape the car quite a few times

It was -5 when my brother was leaving for work in Tayside a few days ago.

pisspawpatrol · 09/12/2018 20:06

Definitely had a few frosts in the West Midlands. Had to scrape the car at least three times in recent weeks.

MamaHechtick · 09/12/2018 20:09

Coastal south east here and had to de-ice the car 3 times

BabySharkAteMyHamster · 09/12/2018 20:10

Cumbria here.

I was out in my cardie and tshirt today.......I don't like it.

StoorieHoose · 09/12/2018 20:12

Fecking freezing outside in central Scotland tonight. Cars are already frosting up
