"It isn't so Hot in my field about three o'clock in the morning as some people think it is," said Eeyore. "It isn't Close, if you know what I mean. It isn't Stuffy. In fact, Christopher Robin, quite-between-ourselves-and-don't-tell-anybody, it's Cold."
Nipped out early this morning to buy Granddaughter some drawing materials. It was -6C according to the car thermometer. In terms even King Charles may understand, that's probably colder than Eeyore's field. It isn't Stuffy.
Very attractive though driving past frosted trees and countryside. Uplifting in spite of the cold - this is what winter is supposed to look like.

Not so cold here, and impressive in a different way. Thick fog, Isle of Wight and Gosport disappeared (Gosport is no great loss) and booming fog-horns from the Solent. Dead calm, but even with full winter gear on you need to keep moving when outside.
So far, probably not the warmest December on record, but of course they haven't done the maths yet.
You keep your car in a garage then?
Sam - dense fog and booming fog-horns from the Solent sounds very atmospheric, like a scene from an old black and white spy film.
Doonhamer - it's between the house and a high hedge. Doesn't get as frosted as cars parked on the road although we still had to scrape the windows furthest from the house.
