Positively balmy -4.1C outside the home office, that's up over 1C in the last 2 hours.

Struggling to keep a fire lit here

They have fireplaces in the Home Office? How quaint, although it's nice to hear they're keeping old traditions alive.

If you're struggling to keep the fire going, I'd just break up some of the furniture and use that for firewood, and there must be stacks of unread immigrant files you could burn

Had a bit of respite in Kent with no more snow overnight and roads driveable but god the temp is way below 0 brrrrr.

More snow forecast from today evening till tomorrow. So not going out for next 3 days, battening down the hatches and fighting the beast.

-9 and 4 adults up in the Tesla today. It's a true test of nerves to see how long we dare leave the 4 seat heaters on.

Maybe compromise and just turn yours on? And take hot water bottles.

Boring customer service question: if you pay extra for something to be delivered next-day and it is delayed by the snow, should you get the extra back?

Have you asked your accountant?






Only kidding. Start dunning.

1 school closed at 10am.
Various children returned home in the mighty Mondeo.

Next one closing at 1pm.

Clientco fully functioning (airport). Will be taking my laptop home tonight and either WFH or having a day off tomorrow.

Only another inch since bedtime but it's -3 and the wind has really picked up; luckily we're naturally sheltered but brrrr.

Our local shops are empty so we're living out of the pantry supplies. Might have to eat our chickens.

Client office closing here in Cardiff. Red warning for south wales at 3pm. Closed tomorrow too.

And I dont have remote access :-(

South Brumshire is Sunshine/blue sky followed by a mild snow storm. Rinse, repeat.


We have a fine dusting of that wispy, fine snow that you see in Ch5 melodrama Christmas films which I always thought never existed.

Not seen "dry" powder snow in this country for a while.

Lots of it here in sarf herts, windchill 8/9, air temp -3/4.
Bloody Baltic (but, then, that's where it's coming from) brrrrr
It's no very Warrum
