hmmm - the temp seems to have bounced to -6C!
G'Night All -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... 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. -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk "Heather" wrote in message ... 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??

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

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.
