winter
Winter is the coldest season of the year in polar and temperate zones. It occurs between autumn and spring. The tilt of Earth's axis causes seasons; winter occurs when a hemisphere is oriented away from the Sun. Different cultures define different dates as the start of winter, and some use a definition based on weather.
When it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa. In many regions, winter brings snow and freezing temperatures. The moment of winter solstice is when the Sun's elevation with respect to the North or South Pole is at its most negative value; that is, the Sun is at its farthest below the horizon as measured from the pole. The day on which this occurs has the shortest day and the longest night, with day length increasing and night length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice.
The earliest sunset and latest sunrise dates outside the polar regions differ from the date of the winter solstice and depend on latitude. They differ due to the variation in the solar day throughout the year caused by the Earth's elliptical orbit (see earliest and latest sunrise and sunset).
Hi there,
I recently purchased a flat that was built in 2016. The apartment is still under the NHBC 10yr warranty. Since moving in, I discovered that the rainwater pipe that runs through my winter garden balcony at one end of the property is connected to a combined water/sewage system with the...

Hi all,
I am thinking to set boiler when we are on holiday soon this winter.
First, I want to turn off the cylinder (hot water tank) handle (please see attached photo arrow pointing), this way the house will no water flow at all, this is to prevent water/pipe leaking/burst which happened last...
Hi all.
We have just had a new oil system installed including an external Tiger loop. I see that the 'new' Tiger loops are now a complete metal unit (as opposed to the previous plastic dome).
My question is - In the depths of UK Winter, may it be necessary for me to cover the Tiger loop to...
Here is what I have going on, and wondering if someone can help me solve the problem..
Quick details: I live in Canada so the cold ground water temp can be an issue in the winter.
I had a Bradford white 75 gallon water tank that just gave up. This tank was used for my main home hot water...

My air/water heat pump is stuck in cooling mode. For whatever reason it's parameters have changed to cooling only and turned itself to standby mode. I can't change the parameter now and the machine wont let me turn it on. Any Ideas?
Hi,
My Potterton Heatmax Boiler is nearly 10 years old, but has been serviced regularly and the Pressure Release Valve was recently replaced. It frequently loses pressure throughout Winter, when the heating is in use. During Summer months, it's fine! All radiators are all heating up to HOT and...
Temperatures are out, WHY? Someone somewhere forgot to leave the freezer door open, now we are having Spring temperatures. Plants are confused. May be I should head to the allotment and start preparing the soil for early planting. Wish I had ordered some seed potatoes from Thompson & Morgan, I'd...
first one of the winter for me, customer has already remarked the bath hot is not as warm as the basin hot. (usual combi winter problem)
I would normally try fit one of the wondervalves (the ones with the coloured cartridges to suit the amount of water required) but on this job some MORON has...
Do you all take your power tool batteries in from the van of an evening to prevent them getting damaged by the cold if indeed that is possible?
Thanks in advance
Now the cold weather is approaching, I'm thinking that cold sarnies etc aren't going to be much good whilst parked up at munchtime.
Has anyone got a suggestion for an in-van food warmer? o_O
Hi all. I have a question about using the timer on my ravenheat Rs84 combi boiler. Basically I've never been able to get the timer to work, although the boiler does work fine in winter mode. When I turn the controls to winter mode the boiler starts heating water and the radiators around the...

I am trying to bleed the taps so I turned off the cold water mains tap but there is still a considerable flow of water from the tap. It's been running for over 20 minutes with no sign of decreasing. I don't know why the mains tap isn't shutting down the water supply completely. I have a...
