Patf Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Perhaps my memory isn't as good as it was, but this seems to be thecoldest winter since we arrived here. Night time temperatures are wellbelow freezing and husband is even considering closing the bedroomwindow ! Am I imagining it, or is it really so cold? We are in Gers 32.

Hegs Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 It's the coldest Dec since we've been here (4 years). I've never seen a long period before with average nighttime temperature below zero before Xmas. In practise the house seems warmer than last year with a new roof, the house is relatively dry and heating working working well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 It's our first winter here so nothing to compare it with. But it's freezing in our part of 24, mist/freezing fog didn't lift at all yesterday. And we're both pleased we had central heating installed.We had a landscape gardener here a few days ago who'se lived here for 15 years and he says it's a bad winter, started early and much colder than usual.

Chas Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 We are on the coast in 17 and although we don't keep records we do not remember so much frost before Christmas. It has generally been in the new year. This is our 6th winter and we think the coldest so far. It was a brisk minus 5 overnight last night.

Deimos Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Last year’s winter was certainly colder than so far. However, last years very cold period mayhave been later in the winter.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 It's the moon that causes it, should start to get better over the next few years but this winter should be bad, probably worse than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Last winter we had a daytime high of -8°C just before Christmas in the Ardèche - I remember it well because we were trying to commission the central heating boiler and under floor heating - laugh a minute at those temereatures (or not as the case may be).Anyway since I'm not in France until tomorrow I cannot be certain, but the meteo is suggesting daytime highs of around +3-6° so that is significantly warmer.Obviously it depends where you are.
