Its brisk...but hardly cold enough to freeze nuts. Try starting your car in -43C like I have. Or changing a flat in -32C! Wimps!Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostIt's brass monkeys out there today.
In recognition of this fact, I think I'm going to buy a car with at least 4 litres in an effort to warm us up a bit.

Last winter was very dry. IIRC, that was AGW too. So it's "hot, cold, rains or doesn't rain".Originally posted by Andy2 View PostThey have covered all their bases
