Best toy I got at christmas was from my in-laws.... an 'Oregon' weather station with most of the bells and whistles (barometric pressure, temperature, humidity and 'forecaster' all built in) which is eerily accurate
I'd say we're having a proper winter, more like the ones I remember when I moved to the east side of the country in the early '90s.
Certainly, we've had weeks go by with the temperature seldom getting above 1 degree and frequently -4 constantly. Have seen -12 in Dinnet, but then again my outside sensor for the weather sensor is a smidgen sheltered.
Brisk
Yes, just a bit
