Greenhouse thermometer registered-6.8C, just under 20F. Obviously colder up in the north and Scotland but that was cold for us.
How things have changed. When we moved here over 35 years ago, it was ‘quite normal’ to have overnight lows of about -10C, sometimes colder.
Our heating has been on far more than normal for us, but the coming wet and warmer weather should mean it will reduce again, until the next time.
Lovely soups have been the order of the day. Once my leeks thaw, I hope to start using them!
Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
We are trying to.
DeleteGrowing up in Norfolk, without central heating, I remember some really cold winters. 50 years on, it seems warmer and wetter
ReplyDeleteCertainly is. If it stays like this, farmers will really suffer let alone more flooding of houses. Maybe it will change when the El Niño era ends.
DeleteIt has been pretty cold here too but what you say is true - we are definitely used to warmer temperatures now. xx
ReplyDeleteWet, windy and warm seems the new normal.
DeleteThere's nothing worse than having a row of leeks that are needed but are frozen into the ground, it's happened to me on many occasions. This year it was carrots I couldn't get out until this morning. :-)
ReplyDeleteShould be able to get them out tomorrow all being well.
