Seems SKY News are scaremongering that tonight is going to be the coldest of they year. Nowt wrong with that until they mentioned that temperatures could drop as low as, get this: -20 degrees, which is as cold as Moscow.

Let's just say, I went to Lapland last year where the temperature hovvered between -19 and -28, lets just say if it gets that low, we're in deep crap!
(We constantly wore SKI suit style clothing which was JUST enough).
I doubt it will get lower than -10. Just the press picking up on a story and making up numbers. |

Fantastic picture.
Really easy to pick out the Brum, Manc and Leeds areas and the west side of London (not under the cloud).

Anybody seen any 4x4's on the roads up there?
Down here all the chelsea tractors have been safely garaged at the first sign of bad weather. Can't risk getting them dirty, you know.

What we are going through is nothing to what the people of Oymyakon in Russia are used to:

Quote Oymyakon boasts an average winter temperature of -45C, with a one-time world record low of -71.2C. '"

| i read a good article on sky teletext.
councils in cornwall and scarborough are using sand off the beaches to grit the roads.
now seeing that we are an island , would it be too much to ask that we start on the coast and work inwards all over the country?
if it works , it could replace earlier suggestions of flamethrowers, low loader braziers , and tactical nuclear explosions.  |

I heard a member of the public was saying she was taking sand off the beach. Apparently it's illegal though. |

Think I'll have a look on Ebay, see if there is any low cost Napalm knocking about 
BTW - How do you get to the sand if it is buried under a foot of snow?  |

Here you go:
Quote In parts of the world the public is expected to help keep the streets clear of snow. In Minneapolis, in the US, it's your legal duty.
"Keeping our sidewalks free of ice and snow is the neighbourly thing to do, and it's the law... please do your part," says the local authority's website. '"
Quote The mayor's website states people have a personal responsibility to remove snow from "the full paved width of the sidewalk or a minimum of 42 inches wide". Fines can reach as much as $250 (£154) for each day the snow is left. '"
