We have had the same earlier in the week Babs, we are just not used to bad weather anymore. Since yesterday temps are in the 20's again with bright blue skies. I suppose it will be the same for you :-)
Eeee, ya southern softie you! Your Yorkshire roots are quaking in their boots in horror! But oh I do love watching a real fire too. So mesmerising. I can imagine you all cosied up and happy.
Beautiful shot. We don't need a fireplace here because it is never too cold, though it is becoming a custom with younger people to have one even for show.
@ludwigsdiana We have had rain and wind for days. Supposed to be fine again by tomorrow though.
@aikiuser At least it isn't cold every day here in winter and I am sure it will warm up again in a couple of days.
@kjarn Me too. We only usually have our woodburner lit in an evening but the last couple of days it has been going all day and night.
@annied I don't mind the wind especially if I am walking on the beach. Even the downpours are okay as long as I am not out in them, it is the fine drizzle rain I hate.
@karlow75 Doesn't get as cold as 5 degrees here, but it did go down to 9 degrees last night. Usually we have a low of about 12 minimum.
@casablanca Ee ba gum you are right I am a softie these days. My blood turned thin years ago. Luckily I didn't need to go out for anything yesterday so stayed cosy and warm.
@pattyblue Indeed, chopping the wood is hard work but the pay off is a lovely glowing fire.
Beautiful fire keeping you warm. I could sit for hours and stare at the fire. we don't have one, but sit most Saturday night with our neighbors outside by their fire.
our temps for weeks already are around 100 degree F. in the shade on our deck it goes up to 90 - 92 degrees. the ac runs almost of day.
I don't like the wind...everything else ya just deal with

It is cosy in an evening when the wind is howling outside. The wind has eased today and so has the rain, hopefully we will have blue skies again soon.

I can almost hear the crackle and smell the woodsmoke :)
