Embrace the most revolting, soul destroying and repellent conditions to be found anywhere on earth? I think not.
Never mind snow, it's becoming an ordeal to even get a frost. Absolutely unreal for 57 degrees north. The worst winters on earth. Where else is there no hope of getting frost, snow or warm sunshine? Just endless misery.
It's either zonality or the unadultered horror we have at the moment. Nothing else on offer any more. It's the equivalent of having a choice for a meal of either a bowl of gruel , with an accompaniment of stale bread and hard boiled potatoes, or a plate of dog muck laced with strychnine. There really is only one viable option as the other will kill you and this sure as hell is sucking the life out of me.
No words in the English language could do justice to this atrocity of a winter. A league below even the worst of the past 7 years of unprecedented horror. Relentless rain and gloom. It hasn't let up all week. Haven't been able to get outdoors for exercise once. Never in my life have I endured such a horrific week where every lunchtime has been a soggy wet washout
It's ridiculous beyond words. When I was at school I only recall once when there was even two consecutive wet intervals. Feels like our weather is now constantly influenced by the North Sea. Everywhere else the rain bands pass through whereas here it stagnates and turns into a relentless onslaught with is no respite. No sooner has one weather warning for rain/floods expired than another one has been put in place
Feeling tired and lathargic constantly due to the needing the light on all day and being unable to get fresh air which should be considered a basic human right. Had a terrible, disturbed nights sleep due to the rain and vile rattling wind.
It's just unrelenting horror with no end in sight. I predicted a frost-free December and while we did get a frost last week I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's into the new year before there's another one.
The first five months of the year were the driest in over 160 years but the annual total looks as though it will be close to or even above average. A disgusting reflection of how monumentally vile it has been since June with the very worst saved till last.
Getting even two months as bad as June, August or October would make for a truly terrible period. Add what we endured in mid-November and now this putrid December into the mix and it's off the scale of horrors.
A living hell
