To be enjoying this cold snap 🤭

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

I'm loving it 🤷‍♀️

I take this cold over 30 degree heat any day

😄😄 this is true, people are like this

Yes love it (but no snow thankfully). Big coat is on!

In London it's going to cold and sunny tomorrow. Beautiful.

I love it too. I love coming home and drawing the curtains, summer light and heat can be too intrusive.
I think I may as well enjoy it while we have it, cold snaps never last long and it’s welcome after the long hot summer we had here.

I love it personally because I prefer to dress up in loads of layers. Can't wait for the first of December so I can break out my Christmas Guinness jumper 🤭

I’m not loving having chapped lips but aside from that, really don’t mind it at all.

Nope.... it's too cold. Plus I have dogs to walk, I've had this cold virus thing for nearly 2 weeks and now have a chest infection.

Luckily for me, I'm off to the Algarve for a long weekend later. I can't wait for a bit of sunshine!

Just got home from the cinema where there was no heating! I’m very glad to be home in the warm.

I think it depends on age, health and ability to manage the bills. I hate hot, humid weather, but I’m also not too happy with this.

But, in London/NKent, it’s not too bad at the moment. 👎

No. It's horrible. Roll on Spring.

It so is. It’s my most favourite time. Thank you for loving it too.

You can be prepared for Winter and still detest it.

There’s nothing to love. Had to spend money on a new coat and the pavements are lethal.

😲

I am not loving it all all, I am cold.

It's painful to go out first thing in the morning for my run, I am freezing, I feel like I can't breathe properly and its just hurt to be out instead of staying under the duvet all day 😂

My kids moan about doing their outdoor sports because they're cold and they can't be bothered - they are fine once they warm up.

It's unseasonably cold - I know it's winter, but it tends to be usually mild-ish. I normally never get proper winter coat/ ski jackets and proper winter gear out. It stays in the loft until our holidays, so either I feel the cold more (which is unlikely) or it's actually colder than normal for mid November.

This is mumsnet - full of women who can't cope with temperatures over 18 degrees and who either have plenty of £££ to pay for their fuel bills or are people who like to post on the competitive underheating threads.

I'm sorry you are uncomfortable. I don't like winter either but I'm not a typical mumsnetter. I don't like festering snuggling under blankets in candlelight, drinking hot chocolate, I answer the phone and the doorbell, I like my workmates and got on like a house on fire with my late MIL.

My cats are disgusted. The little one walked carefully round the edge of the garden this morning to avoid putting his feet in the snow on the lawn and gave me a hard stare halfway round to remind me of his feelings about it. I agree with him.

👍

For me it means peace and quiet. No bomp bomp bomp of a ball. A housing estate in London during the summer months isn’t a pleasant place.

I hate it so much. A combination of SAD and Raynaulds syndrome does not make me a happy person in winter. We never get snow either as we live by the sea, just wind.

It is good to have some sunshine after weeks of hideous dullness and the third dullest October on record, followed by a November that will almost match it in places.

It is also good that a bit of dry weather that often accompanies a cold spell will help things to dry out a bit. The super-mild weather for much of this month was accompanied by dampness and the inability to step into the garden I am working on without half of it sticking to my shoes.

It is less good that a fair portion of the cold spell has again been marred by cloudy conditions. I much prefer cold crisp sunny conditions where the ground is frozen and you can walk on a footpath without sinking into it.

The cold snap has been a mediocre affair here in the SE, it is too early for proper cold. A few brief periods of snow that doesn't settle is just a typical southern England fake winter.

YANBU. The relatively warm autumns of recent years make me uneasy. This is the kind of November weather I remember from my childhood.

great, but what do you actually DO?

Spend several hours a day outside?
Spend another few hours standing on the side of various pitches while your children are training?

That's not directed to you, but I read people loving the "cold weather" because they enjoy lying down in front of the tv under blanket with a hot chocolate, it's rather hypocritical of them 😂They're not outside, the temperature has nothing to do with anything, and they could do just that most of the year, just by opening a window

I don't mind the cold but the sleet was horrible - I didn't have gloves and after pushing the buggy for half an hour my hands were in agony
