Ah - the current temp here in Holywell according to my Vista Gadget
is -12C (10F)
This is about 3C colder than it was when I woke up this morning
How true this is is anyone's guess - all the thermometers in peoples' cars
only registered -6 this am.

You folks have been getting a taste of our warmer weather, it seems.
Tomorrow will be about 18F here.......forget what that is in Cent. cuz I
avoid it when at all possible. I can't "feel" how warm or cold it is in
Centigrade.

To stay warm.......layer your clothes. And Ron says.....get snow tires.
They are absolutely required here. Lordy, remember tire/tyre chains??

Off for a chicken dinner at Swiss Chalet.........keep warm.

Johns got to go out our kitchen light has given up the ghost so he's
got to go get a new fixture then my son-in-laws cousin will come and
fit it for us, although we'll probably get a 5 ' one instead of the
6' that we have now, the tubes are easier to get and cheaper. It's
not done bad though we had it fitted just before we moved in here
nearly 17 years ago. It's been dry and sunny here all day but of course
very cold and the
forecast for tomorrow is the more of the same brrrrrrrrrrr

oops......I am living in the past it seems. Ron says chains were banned
eons ago cuz they chewed up the pavement. Doesn't seem to matter about
people getting *chewed up*.

You are a fair bit warmer than we are/were. It was minus 24C for a few days
due to windchill. I didn't go out unless I had to. Jan. & Feb. are always
the worst months here. My arthritis is absolutely killing me due to the
cold and damp. Haven't had my hands swell like this for a few years. 8-((

And even tho we are probably one of the most southern parts of Canada,
latitude-wise, and are protected by Lake Ontario (causes major snow storms
dump on Buffalo, snicker), we are still bloody cold. I see in the paper
that Florida is down in the single digits C. I do believe Edgar Cayce's
predictions might just be coming true. (axis shift of the poles causing
weather changes.........and he died in the 1940's, so never heard of global
warming).

Night........Figgs

No point in tyre chains here since we're in a one in 50 year event or
something like that. Chains are a sensible investment if snow and ice is
a regular feature of one's winters but that's not the case here with this
winter seemingly being the worst since the 1960s. Temperatures in central
London tonight are predicted to be -3 to -4C (25-26F) with down to -9C
(16F) in surrounding towns but apparently it could get as low as -20C
(-4F) in the countryside. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. Thankfully we have the Gulf
stream since otherwise we'd be a lot colder here in London given that we
are 8 degrees further north than Toronto.

I hope you enjoyed your dinner.

Just seen a report that in parts of Wales it was down to -15°C last night, I
know my little gadget on my desktop, computer, at the moment is showing -3°C
for the area here, it was -6°C earlier but there are blue skies and
sunshine, it hasn't melted the snow on next doors roof though, I can see
that while I'm typing this g

That was actually rather balmy, Har........we are heading into another deep
freeze (cold weather alert) today. Ron said it was bloody cold out at noon.
I don't bother checking anymore. I just keep piling on the layers and
finally broke down and wore gloves, grin.

Your weather isn't much different from the north European, is it, especially
the UK's. As Mike pointed out, it is a fifty-year affair there, just as we
have the hundred-year floods here in the States.
That could provide some comfort, as opposed to having it happen every year,
if this were next year.
We pray it may subside, sooner rather than later.
Keep and stay warm,

Harry.
