definetly is, cant remeber it being this cold so early, plsu i notice it when i out fishing, we had a cold snap, then it went mild, up to 9-10degrees then back down again…makes fishing hard work!
Im not sure about it being colder but its definately a lot drier! I havent really had that many days of coming to work in the pouring rain compared to last year - I love waking up and hearing people scrape ice off of their car though, I dont mind the cold
p.s. - it is colder than last year - but then this how it’s supposed to be at this time of year - the warmer winters over the last few years have been an anomaly.
