Nice weather for ducks!

We have a saying "Nice weather ....for ducks!"
Cold wet and windy.
Whatever happened to autumn? Those lovely cooler days when you only need a light jumper or a heavy shirt - when you can still sit outside?
We had the fire on last night it was so cold. Today is already wet and very windy.

No sitting outside sketching in this weather for me. I'm staying indoors to play with my paints.
Though I do wonder if anyone has any sheets blowing dry in this wind? That would make a nice painting !
