That wind is cold, it felt colder yesterday and last night than it did when all the snow was around.

It's been -2 -3 here all night long and it's only just turned 0.  There will be a few late starting frozen up window cleaners today.  No problems for the trad guys though.

I went out shopping yesterday evening and it was minus 3 when I got back around 10.  I drained the pipes and brought the reel in.  Probably a late start this morning.  I see all the screens are ided up outside.  Will check on it about 9 to see how it's going.

No problems for me today - got through over 500l though and had to park uphill to stop getting airlocks. Had the intense cold fingers for the first hour - then they warmed up. Can't stop peeing though  :-\

I'm like that most of the time, the cold doesn't bother me but the heat does. Must be my Viking genes.
