We recoded -10 midday today, don't know what it is just now, appart from bloody cold, we have had frozen pipes up stairs for best part of a week now, so no water/heating upstairs. so sat here huddled in my duvet, cuddeling a hot water bottle, and drinking some hot chocolate.

Merry Christmas  :wave:

oh gosh what are you going to do??????
Melt snow for the dogs, and my neighbours brought in Evian water for me.  I'm hoping to get out tomorrow so can buy cheap supermarket water for the dogs.  Drainage tank is quite big so can last a week.  After that - who knows?  I ordered specific restaurant vouchers online for my nephew and his wife so if they don't come tomorrow they'll get a card with the receipt in it.  We'll all get through this - there's worse things than this. My friends in new Zealand have just survived 3350 aftershocks after the huge 7.2 earthquake.  Their house and keenls were flooded and may have to be rebuilt.  There was massive liquefaction everywhere.  So I am lucky!
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

we have seen signs of a thaw today in buckie, we had snow this morning so we had a white Christmas, but its warmed up as the day has gone on and we can hear trickles of water as icicles melt and the white stuff turns to slush in places  the temp is currently -1 but it feels so warm after the temps we have had recently, my mini Shetland mare has a slight sweat on tonight, were so used to freezing ours wotsits off.

Still deep snow here in Worcs and very cold. I do not like my hand sticking to metal and having to use butane to defrost locks. I do not like the drinkers freezing over in ten minutes. I do not like using up the winter's hay and firewood in December. I do not like this weather full stop!
