I definitely recommend cat litter for extra traction on the ice. That stuff has been nothing short of amazing in this icy weather.
10L bag of Catsan Tesco £7.

Quite a few water mains will blow tomorrow with such a swing in temperature.
Water companies need stronger regulation. Just look at London last night.

On the plus side my hoses will be unfrozen so I don't have to cart water all over the place from our kitchen to the animals :)
Turning into a right old farmer complete with wellies.

100%. I don't really feel the cold (it was still shorts and jumper weather for me), and I hate this grey winter mildness.

I would if I had insulation and central heating.

But thankfully, today I can feel my fingers. :)

Can you not do anything to your house? May as well remove the doors and windows and get some fresh air all the time by the sounds of it.

Yes stuff like solar panels etc, surely central heating/insulation he can do without permission?

Need walls put through, roof lifting off, cladding etc - if I do all the insulation work then I'll have to re-do it when the roof comes off, the walls come down etc. etc.

I can't do the central heating bit because I've no energy source - no gas or oil. I need planning to put gas or oil in. I want to do solar, so A) I'm not reliant on gas or oil and B) running an electric central heating system via the grid would mean I need a whole other job just to keep up with payments. But I need planning to do solar - and the national park really don't want to let me.

So yeah. There's fuck all I can do without starting building works unfortunately. :(

Proper cold weather hitting the USA. Minus 50 degrees Celcius in Northern Idaho. Chicago is minus 21 degrees. NYC is supposed to be about minus 12 tomorrow during the day.

Just to be a pedant - 6 degrees is a colder than average December temp for the UK.

But yeah. I want snow too!

Well, I'm not bothered now. Not going anywhere now until Sunday, quick pint of Guinness in the local while the oven warms up.

Also, put the heating on, fuck it, it's Xmas.
