Well as my pond still has ice on it (the gardens clear of snow, apart from a blob left from a heap when I cleared part of the path) So there is absolutely no way I intend to follow his (Gwyn will probably say it would have to be a him) lead.

It is now 8C here, and drizzly. So why do I feel colder than last week when it was -8C?
No chance of mowing any lawns here yet - the grass isn't growing for a start and the land is just so soggy.

Because you've unconsciously turned down the central heating a notch or three

I don't have central heating when dog walking though. And I am still wearing a thick fleece under my jacket.

Many years ago, I was carrying out some electrical work on a farm, it was winter, but the weather was mild but damp, started chatting to the farmer, I said how mild it was.
His sister who lived in Canada, and who was used to winter temperatures of minus many degrees, was on a home visit, he said my sister would disagree, she is in the house, almost sitting on top of the Rayburn,to try and get warm.
I think it’s the dry cold, against the damp. :
Take care.

I for one am convinced of this.I think it’s the dry cold, against the damp
I spent a while in Norway where the temp was never above -20C. Dressed properly I never felt the cold during my stay. The worst was arriving back at Manchester Airport well above freezing (Incidentally still wearing the warm clothing I had on when I left Oslo) where I dithered my way all through customs and out to the carpark.

I think you are right. It was beautiful weather last week and now it is just dreich.
I am looking forward to some dry cold in Norway in a couple of weeks (hopefully), though of course I am also going to Bergen, which, as far as rainfall goes, makes Manchester look like a desert .
2 weeks from now I will be in Oslo .

I think altitude has a lot to answer for. Just back from Wrekenton (hospital check up for Margaret's knee, very happy with the range of movement she has achieved and with the way the wound is healing. No more visits for 5 months) which is on top of the hill, bitter cold. Low lying Chester-le-Street, two top coats warmer.

Trust me Barrie - Chester-Le-Street isn't as low as where I am (which is below sea level) but it still feels blinking cold here.
Glad Margaret is progressing well. I hope you are doing as well.
My cousin is having her second knee done today, the first was done just before Christmas.

It's a good job this isn't a chat forum I've just softened up the very last piece of a 625gm box of Thorntons Special Brazil Toffee that I had for Christmas.
That's me on a diet from now on

Bergen the wettest place in Europe (and Scandinavia) but when it's not raining...
... and Oslo, I just love Frogner Park and the Vigiland (?) sculptures.
I wish I was going with you Gwyn, it's far too long since I was last there.
Out in Ilkley with my better half tonight, meeting my old boss and his better half in Wetherspoons for a beer and curry.

I like Ilkley. The wood just over the river is the best blue bell wood I've come across.
