Three cheers for warm knees! Temperatures are dropping where I live and snow is in the forecast. I may decide to stay at home rather than go anywhere this morning.
We are getting wet, heavy snow this afternoon. I made the mistake of going somewhere--after the morning snow melted!--but while I was out and about, it started snowing again, and this time, it started sticking. I was happy to get home alive and in one solid piece. :^)
Loving Yeats's turn of phrase right now. It isn't that the temperature is so low, but that the air feels so sharp!
Dod, man, but if it's cold enough to your "medieval knees," those warmers could appear to have been knitted of oat bran and they'd feel like swan's down just two seconds after you put them on.
We say that here, too, that ours is a damp cold that just gets into your body and sucks the body heat out---from the inside. Folks from your part of the world who are living here will claim that it's "not like back home" (nothing ever is, no matter who or where you are) and that the UK humidity is much worse and the cold more painful...until the summer heat is exacerbated by the summer humidity in this part of northeast Ohio, and in the meanwhile they still complain about how miserably cold it is during the cold weather months, here.
At around -5°F, to -10°F, we complain about a brittle-making, bone-breaking cold, but this isn't that. Right now, it's that "Cut your nose right off your face, it would," kind of cold.
Anyway, I'm glad for you that you have your knee warmers!

temps have been near 80 in NYC, in Central NY where I am it's been 50s or so. Rain for sure, maybe snow maybe not. But nothing measureable.

We Brits are always complaining about the weather. It's a national characteristic.
