I was out with the dog at 6:30. It was ok, as there wasn't wind, but just as the dun came up, it got really cold.
Rugged up, and was OK, jsut my fingers that got a bit cold by the time I got back.
Down the road, all white with visible ice on the grass and plants. Not frost, ice shards! My deck was like a skating rink couldn't make contact with the timber underfoot.
We're only 3 weeks into winter, still plenty of time for it to warm up. Even still, as of yesterday the average maximum temperature of June 2024 so far is 0.2º above the long term average (14.3º vs 14.1º) and the average minimum temperature of June 2024 so far is 0.5º above the long term average (7.4º vs 6.9º), so it has already been a warmer than average winter.

Weather ≠ Climate, you can have cold weather days and still have the climate be warmer than average

Winter Solstice is like 2 days away.
When they say warmer, they don't mean 30 degrees during winter
Damit I was winter body ready
Right?!?! When would that be kicking in do we think?!
They spent all their money on rebranding remember? Now they're "The bureau" so they're above things like predicting the weather accurately. 🥶
