According to the Danish Weather Service it's the mildest and warmest winter ever recorded.
This time last year, the garden was covered in 20 cm of snow, today our hedge think it's spring, full of buds ready to burst
It's about 4 degrees and grey- ish

Don't argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. |

The weather here alternates between dull with lots of wind and bright with lots of wind. It's in bright mode today.
Still warm for the time of year though. It's been below freezing on only a couple of occasions so far this winter and it's currently a balmy eight degrees.
Do you think it's too early to get the barbeque out? |

| As I look out of my kitchen window, the rose bushes are in full bloom as are the fuschias. If this is winter then I think I may just be able to handle it!!! |

Infinitely blue sky, calm seas, gulls wheeling noisily overhead.
The fuel ship is gliding away from the bunkering jetty with a solitary toot of the horn.
Whatever happened to winter?

Do remember us poor folk living a part of he UK where a typical year consists of nine months of winter followed by three months of bad weather!  |

| Kon in Sydney we don't need an Ark. I wish. We had on huge down pour and that was it. We are still able to water our gardens at the moment but how long will that last? Hope coping ok with the heat and the smoke/fires stll around. Off camping on Australia Day weekend and that's when the rain is due of course. |
We can't change the direction of the wind... but we can adjust our sails |

| The real winter has arrived at last, after months of rain and wind the snow has come, 2 inches in the last 2 hours if it keeps on all night I may be snowed in and not able to get to work in the morning |
