A harsh winter, where can we get survival tips?


Recommended Posts

There's always scare stories about a harsh winter.

 

The other year it was all exposed to be a massive con, the companies and weather forecasters making these claims didn't even exist, just a couple of idiots on the internet trying it on.

Same tripe gets put out every year though regardless.

 

Thanks geared - I'd forgotten about that little escapade.

 

I bet 'rogets' - who still hasn't replied to any considered responses - gets all his 'news' from the same dodgy sources.

tbh i was told this winter was gonna be worse, havent had one for a few years and low and behold we have snow today, we dont normally get snow either being on the coast. and its earlier than we normally get it.

We've had some unusual arctic winds this week, it is lovely but slightly nippy.

 

Top-tips:

 

- wear windproof clothing.

- don't overheat the house/workplace, instead keep it at normal temperatures (17-19 degrees depending on neshness) and combat draughts in the home/workplace instead.

- drink warm drinks.

- start the day with a brisk walk up't hills and get your body warmed up through exercise, it will help throughout the day.

- Put an extra blanket on the bed, don't leave heating on overnight, it will just make you feel cold when you go out in the morning and cost you money.

- Optional - buy a big fluffy dog to accompany you on the walk and to cover you on the sofa.

Forecasters can't get it correct for tomorrow never mind for January . Its paper talk and not worth reading . Just use common sense . When weather forecasters are giving us the forecast about a third of their time on air is telling us what we have already had earlier .
