Winter Weather

We recorded 58 for last night's low temperature.........8 months since our last 50's evening. Enjoy it while you can. It's one of the benefits of living in Udon!

Yep, I've got a cold, my little 'un has a cold, the misses has a cold, i'm already pi**ed off with having to wear thicker clothing in the evening ..........

Enjoy it while you can. It's one of the benefits??? of living in Udon!

What ............. only having to put up with it for a max of 4 months of the year instead of the 11months of cold weather in UK

oh!, and for those thinking of a nice winter holiday in Udon, the bar girls wear a few extra layers under their coats at this time of year as well

Where can I buy an outdoor thermometer? TESCO does not carry one.

Indo China market in Nong Khai has loads, but I can't remember seeing any Max/min thermometers anywhere

I bought a couple of small thermometers at 69 Baht store in UD Town. They are just a graduated glass stem with a suction cup. I bought two that read exactly the same. I positioned one next to the patio door glass on the inside of the house and one facing it on the outside glass. Now I can read the inside temperature and at the same time read the outside temperature.

I also have an outdoor thermometer in the sala, and yes, I bought it at the Indo China market in Nong Khai.

Amorn's electrical shop, downstairs in the old Big C building has digital indoor/outdoor types for a few hundred baht. I believe they hold the high/low temperature for you as well.
Most school supply stores carry the traditional kind of thermometer as well.

I've often wondered why so many (not all) Brit folks in Udon seem to suffer from PMS.......at least now I know it's in part because of the crappy weather!

I reckon last night and today were just about the perfect weather ,,, no ac over night slept ok and today was simply glorious .

Anything above 0C has to feel warm to someone from Scunny who's used to a wind chill of -20C off the North Sea

I am presuming as there were no smileys present that was a serious remark . Well I am not sure how many British menstrual ladies we have in Udon but we certainly have a lot of yanks wearing knickers that frequently get them in a knot, regardless of the temperature . .

"we certainly have a lot of yanks wearing knickers that frequently get them in a knot"

Surely Trubrit,,,, you could understand why wearing knotted knickers would leave one completely "on the rip" and in a mood most foul,,,,,,,,,

Not had the aircon switched on in the house, or in the cars.
Can get all the jobs done on the house and garden.
Just finished giving the sala two coats of woodstain.

I wonder if those flame effect fires come with a fan heater like the ones in the UK.
Chilly in the mornings, before the sun gets his hat on.

The chilly willy season has well and truly arrived after last night,Gordon Bennett

50 degrees F. last night at our home at Kilo 18....the low of the year (thus far). We spent the night in Phurua where it was 46.
It's 69 at 4:30pm, so I suppose there's a good chance we'll break into the 40's tonight.
No furnace in a cement home = cold!

Up in the mountains at Pheu Failom today and the park warden told me it was down to 5c(40f) at 6am this morning and many campers abandoned their tents and slept in their cars. Apparently some even upped sticks and went home. I wore a sweater all day without feeling hot and the temperature never got over 20c even in the sun. Good for the tulips though .
