Sitting here and working away and outside it is so heavy raining, snowing and hailing… I cannot believe it and it is not even winter, yet!
Yes, there are areas here also that had no autumn - just went straight into winter. A strange year for weather.

We had the first snow of the year in my parts of sweden today. It was snowing heavily this morning, then the temperature went above zero so most of it melted, and now it’s below zero again so it’s icy everywhere. You have to watch your steps.
We used to get that in NY in the late 80s. One year we had multiple layers of snow and thin ice, so if you tried to walk in it you would kind of shift down each level as the thin ice layers broke.
It was fun. But by about 1991 it wasn’t happening anymore.
At no time this autumn has the temperature dipped below 5°C, 41°F in Bude, day or night, until this evening. Somebody up there has realised it’s November. We have had a freakishly warm September and October (record-book stuff) on top of a hot summer. Summat’s going on all right.
Um. Sorry Henke but freezing is 32 degrees not zero.
Just kidding.
We had real early snow in the beginning of October but haven’t had any since.
We’ve had the ludicrous situation for decades in the UK of having both °F and °C scales in use. The BBC weather forecasters always rattle off the predicted values in both units. Daft or what. That cold air over Sweden has finally flooded over the UK today, Henke, but because of the good ol’ North Sea we’re still getting at least 10°C. Nice weather, too, except down the east coast. Brrr. It’s what makes all them Geordies and Aberdonians such hard men and so unappreciative of my funny Prague pics. 
We had a cool June, a half-cool July, then a monstrous heat wave in late-July. Back to a cooler-than-normal August. An almost-normal September, now an overly-cool October with only a few warm days and one rainfall. Last night, it was more like December.
At least the kiddies weren’t hot in their costumes, the way they usually are here..
The only thing hard about me just now are the icicles forming on my nose. It’s frickin freezing up here just now!
No snow here, doesn’t look as though there will be any again this year… sigh… that just, like, totally sucks.
I hope I get to wear my coat this year.
Aww… who knew you did pitiful so well?
Makes me want to take up a collection and send the Smiths a dump truck full o’ snow.
Billy Connolly once said that if you so much as think about swimming in the North Sea your willy automatically disappears in on itself. Even worse than the usual cold weather “acorn atop a walnut” syndrome. So that’s another thing not hard about you Aberdonians in winter.
Cool, but it wouldn’t be snow any more when it got here. 
In England the May-October six months period was the hottest six months in recorded history, which goes back in the records (Central England Temperature series) to 1659.
Weather was quite severe yesterday here too. Cycling 10km with an icy north wind throwing sleet and snow in my face was a bit of a shock after such warm weather.
Arriving at work after that trip people kept commenting on the colour of my face… as red as an embarassed lobster 
Today is cold (couple of minus degrees this morning) but a clear sky and a lot less wind. Cycling trip was a lot more pleasant 
First frost in my garden since April this morning: -1.5°C. Nice crispy sunshiney day coming up!
Same here: lovely weather after wet, if very mild, October. Crisp to the point where I can actually see mt Brandon from the kitchen window. Time to powerwash the house, it’s mossy green after last month.
