Some clever ****** will be on in a min telling us how cold it is in a completely different country that we don't care about.

Got to -6.5 in Bedfordshire.

Damn this man made global warming hotness to hell

Frost? In the winter? The seasons have all gone to pot! Time to offset some carbon

Seriously - it was very frosty this fine morning! White glistening roads when I woke at 6.53am and a few involuntary slippy slides in the car before joining the main roads too

Best time surely??
Morning sex is the best, if its with yourself, so be it

JOKING !

As for the state of the roads, just been out with the dog so more time to look at people and their driving etc, and it is amazing how many people treat is as a normal road.

Outside my nephew's primary school, the barriers still hold the scars of the last person to think that. The front wing and water bottle of a ford focus who lost it on the corner the other night, believed to be pissed though.

However... 85% humidity indoors

Blimey, that's high! I've got 43% in here and I thought that was high for this time of year. It's 1.6°C outside - bit too warm if you ask me

Sal, Lisbon's famous for being horribly damp during the winter, that's why it feels so much colder than what the thermometer says. Most people have a month or so of picking up a paper indoors to find it floppy

I see my mother in law has about -25 at present. No surprise why she'd like to come to Southern Europe for a couple of months

Speaking of fog, not gonna be long before it greets us in the evenings and mornings again.
There are 2 traffic islands at the bottom of my road, with all the lighting on them failed..... I have reported them and received an email saying they will do it in 15 days.... that was on the 1st.

Now the gritters are out, and the roads wetter, the islands are now black so even harder to see. To add to it, the adjacent street light is also knackered, so how long til there is an accident I wonder. Gets wrecked a few times a year, this is just begging for a serious one.

Saw -6 on the way in this morning through the Cheshire Countryside, the car feels ace in this weather, really lively, however cold tyres and moist/icy roads just means it starts spinning up, yes I know, should have bought a Scoob, tell my wife.

We've had freezing fog for two days solid now... bloody global warming!!!
