society christmas dinner - February 2012

[Mike]

We had better keep an eye on the weather. Apparently it is going to snow overnight. If it is anything like last year we won't be able to get up to the pub again.

So if it snows, how will we know whether or not we are going??????????

Is someone going to phone us all...... he asked? 

Or.........................

Doug.

It's those weather gods again - ANYTHING astronomical sends 'em into a spin

Christmas dinner in August, anyone?

[Ian]

I'll give Blacksmiths a call in the morning, see what the damage is. It doesn't look too bad outside so far this evening (famous last words)

[Mike]

Doesn't look too bad out this morning either. A light dusting on everything but it doesn't appear to have stuck to the road surfaces in my street. It may be different near the pub though.

[doug]

Yeah.... not too bad here.  Keep our fingers crossed.......

[Mike]

Thanks to the organisers for another enjoyable night.

For those of you that were wondering what the temperature was on the way back, it touched -10º C

[The Thing]

-8.7c in my back garden at 07:30 (Beckenham). Froze my focuser it did! Blooming brass monkey's are out in force.

[MarkS]

Last night was -9.5C in my back garden which is the lowest temperature attained all week.  The maximum day time temperature for the whole week has been +1C.

Glad you verified the temperature from last night Mike.  Ian thought the temperature guage on our new car was malfunctioning!!

My car's thermometer was saying -6C as I came home from Gravesend around midnight last night. Well, that's the lowest I noticed...

[Tony G]

This was taken this morning on the the M26 about 7.30am.
I'm glad the boiler is working now at home.

PS........Ignore the airbag warning light.........the problem is on the passengers side.
