Plenty Of The 'White Stuff' This Year??

When we used to have colder winters, the fuel companies always added extra additives to the diesel to lower the waxing temperatures. (Remember the Esso adverts with the Tiger in the snowscape)

Yes and i also remember the media haveing a field day two week's into the ad campaine because of a exceptional cold snap & trucks being stuck up and down the country with waxy derv.

it stuck in my mind because i was overtaken by a milk flote  :oops:

Funny, my camping stove struggles to light any where near freezing?

Thats because butane gets denser and eventually freezes well before say propane. However butane far safer to use.

But at the temperatures were hoping for, forget the stove, if you were camping, I'd bet my mortgage, you'd be knocking on my caravan door in the early hours!!

Sorry, but can't have any snow until after Xmas!! I've got 24,000 Poinsettia (those red Xmas plants) which I've got to deliver and at the nursery I'm burning 20,000 litres of gas oil a month at double the price of two years ago! Nice and warm until 24th December then it can snow like mad!
