  1. Da ya nae fancy an ice cream or a Mini-Milk soft lad.

    Sorry can’t do the accent mate.

  2. It’ll be the weather that does it! 😉🤭🤣

  3. Am I the only one who loves these kinds of temperatures?

  4. It’s 2c currently in Greater Manchester lol, so not too bad here, but still colder than normal

  5. Hope you brought your winter ready retractable ballbag

  6. I’m glad AI gave me a summary. I wouldn’t have been able to process that glut of information without it.

  7. It’s so cold my teas gone cold only 5 minutes after I made it. I better turn my heating up

  8. Only 4º down in the south east , nippy near central london by the river but little warmer away from central warm enough for just a standard jumper even then get hot walking

  9. It was a tad warmer than that – about 1°C or thereabouts when I was going to go for a run round St Abbs this morning..and I spent at least 5 minutes swithering about it…then I saw some **really** mad bastards lugging their surfboards down to the beach and felt ashamed.

    Glad I did it – the last of the baby seals were there looking illegally cute.

  10. You’ll be fine. I was in Finland recently and it was -20°c. Took the car quite a while to defrost in the morning.

  11. I’m from the Highlands too and it never fails to surprise me when someone else on reddit is as well haha (silly I know)! I did my post Christmas drive the other day and there was a hell of a lot of ice. It looked exactly like this pic, then I got to the city and it felt like I’d imagined it all 😂 Watch out for the stags, I had a few because they like to come down when it’s this cold nearer the roads.

  12. It was -26 the other day here in Canada and now -5 feels warm 🤣

  13. As long aa you are home before thursday 🙂 we have 8 inches of snow coming. I love living up here.

    Its such a sharp cold its bracing 🙂

  14. “ Are you cold? “

    “ No I’m not cold. “

  15. Off topic but what the fuck is “AI” about that weather report…

    Also that’s the temperature right now in the central belt. Glad I’m inside

  16. The scots and northerners are getting snow. Us southerners are ‘getting a flurry’

  17. I have commuted 10 miles to work in Aberdeen right through winter by motorbike in temperatures often approaching -20C.

    Perhaps foolishly, I used an open-face helmet.

    That was still better than working in North China for a couple of weeks, where the temperatures dropped below -40C. And *inside* the workshop it was below -25C, until we got them to put in some more coal-fired stoves.

    Even in Glasgow, where I now live, one New Year’s day I got called out because the sprinkler system alarms were going off at my company.
    It was -23C and the cylinder head had blown off the diesel engine that powered the sprinkler pumps. And several 100mm flanges had blown off the water pipes when they froze. We had to uprate the heating and insulation after that…

  18. It’s minus 4 in East Kilbride.

    Those are rookie numbers for the Highlands
