Snow in England !

The snow finally arrived here today. The main roads are clear, but the rural and country lanes are fun. We had to use the hedges on both sides of the road to slow us down as the breaks were useless on the snow and ice. Good job nothing was coming the other way, they might not have had much chance against a 20 ton dustcart.

It's so cold in coastal central Florida . . . I said it's so cold in coastal central Florida, I've decided to leave the door to this room open. But, unless I really have to, I refuse to get dressed.

Hah -hah -hah -hah -hah- haaaah! Ofcourse, I could leave this open ended entire, since noone else knows how chilly it is here, but, I can't do that . . . it's just not me. Honestly, I have slipped on an old flannel, sweat pants and some socks. The damn Custom is cold, too!

It is currently -14 Degrees Celsius in Macclesfield (or should that be Hoth?)!

Hope Orlando warms up by the 19th, that is when we are getting there.

Today it is -27c with windchill feels like -39c

I hear Florida is having quite the cold spell....You o.k. fret?
