Yeah, cycling to work at 7 in the morning is getting less appealing by the day.

Needed the de-icer this morning, and judging by how cold it is out there now, I'll be needing it again tomorrow.

The tobacco-addicted customers in the pub this evening were complaining somewhat about the lack of heat in the "smoking room".

Hoping for a really cold winter, lots of snow.  Not only will it make going out fun, it will mean that all the midges will die, and hopefully rid the country of Bluetongue.  Maybe give some of the livestock farmers in the south a chance of staying in business.

Pah

Its colder but not cold.

Cold is when your wife's car wont start because the deisel in the tank is like jello.

Or -42c when the Deleorean finally gave up any intention of starting.

Almost lost my fingers to frost bite this morning (well, it felt like it), doing press ups on frozen grass.

Mind, will probably be a tad colder still in the Falklands next weekend.

Bring on the snow  8)

Well being out in it pulling frozen bins from 6:30am until 12:30pm I can certify that it was cold and it got colder until about 9am too.

On my hands alone I had insulated fingerless gloves, latex gloves on top (to stop wolly gloves getting wet :wink: and then my work gloves on top. Feet I had normal socks and thick wooly ones (steel toe capped boots suck heat from my feet) and I had my burgler bill black insulated wooly hat on and just to top it all off I had 4 layers on my chest.

Yup you guessed it.

My hands and feet were frozen! First time I have ever pulled frozen bins before. Not sure I want to do it again. Might take a can of de-icer around with me :lol:
