BALMY BRIGG WEATHER AS CHRISTMAS APPROACHES

 

Three weeks before Christmas, very mild weather gave Brigg folk a reminder of April yesterday (Friday, December 6).
The temperature reached 11C (52F) for several hours, later rising for a time to 12C - and there was even a rainbow on offer (see picture above).
A stiff breeze took a bit of the edge off the mild weather, but it hardly seems fitting to refer to this as being wind chill.
Heavy showers followed a spell of lunch-time sunshine, but in the afternoon it was still  positively balmy for early December.
Indeed, we can recall playing in a number of late April, and even early May,  matches for Brigg Town when the temperature was much lower than this!

Don't worry, though, we can expect more seasonal weather  to return in the weeks ahead. Hopefully not The Beast From the East, though; we had quite enough of that in March this year.
Our household turned off the central heating yesterday because of the mild weather. We can't have been the only ones.

Sun glinting on the Old River Ancholme near the County Bridge yesterday.

With a temperature of 11C It could be a showery day in April but the Christmas lights in front of the Buttercross tell the full story - it was actually Friday, December 6!

I told yet, Nige. never to mention weather.
Now you've gone and do it!
Heavy snow will be spreading southward from Scotland next and temps are expected to plummet.
As soon as you mention weather, we then get too much of it...
It's like saying that the car journey is stress-free....then you get stuck in an everlasting traffic jam.
Keep mum, Nige...if folks hear that you've mentioned weather, they'll be round to your house!!!
