Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus -

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
