Baltic

[maggiebee]

Baltic here in Dundee this morning -4. Had some condensation on the inside of my bedroom window so opened it before going for my shower. When I went back to close it, the condensation had frozen and I had to scrape it. Brrrrrrr

We have quite thick snow in Bucks. All the schools are shut. It was promised on Tuesday, but was just a light covering, so we were owed a snow day :-)

My dogs are loving it. The horses, not so much.

I've never heard the term Baltic used to describe weather. Arctic, yes.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah the dogs pulled me around at 0700
now at home being warm ...

Antarctic would be my expression for cold.

[wolf63]

It's Baltic here too. I am not going out today :-)

[maggiebee]

Jackdaw33 maybe a Scottish expression - have always said Batic.

We've had a heavy hailstorm, here in Stockton, about 03:00 and it's laid, and it sounds like it's having another go now. The River Tees has frozen and all the birds are standing on the ice, rather than bobbing up and down on it. No snow though.

[Neveracrossword]

From Chambers, 'Baltic...extremely cold (informal)'. I've heard it often - in England as well as in Scotland.

[Tilly2]

I just say perishing.

It's 3 deg here in Plymouth...and -12 in N.Y. where my brother lives.
TBH, what's happening here seems trivial compared to the American mid West.

Spoke too soon... Just ridden home (From work) through a proper downfall of Snow. Not too bad on the cycle lanes, but a bit treacherous in the local Park. Looking forward to doing it again tomorrow!

It's a bit nippy here and we have snow again but I've just looked at my diary and realised I`m going to Chicago on Tuesday. Think things will be better there by then.

Are you staying for a few days or is it a fly in one day and fly out the next?

Chicago always looks nice in pictures.

It's a balmy +2 c in North West Kent, although still snowing.
Winnipeg is - 15 c , which is quite warm considering it was between -25 c and - 35 c on Wednesday - brrrr !

baltic I thought came from the Baltic convoys to |Russia which werent exactly hot.

not that Pacific ( 1941-5) was really hula-hula time

and japanese meant relentless beatings and not those nice cars that run so well

well here we have Laura Kuensberg on an outside broadcast to that Inn on Bodmin Moor - cold as hell and snowy
Jamaica ?
No actually she came after volunteering ....
