The warm winds arrived last night raising our daytime temperature of  -2C to +2C around midnight. By 8am the 10cm of snow we had in the garden had completely vanished. It is now +12C and set to rise over the next few days.

One day of sun yesterday - really enjoyed a magical snow walk in the forest - today no sun and icy cold, no fun at all....but at least we are not snowed in at home or on the road like some unfortunate people.

My container grown heucheras have 17" snow caps   and despite bright sun and cloudless skies it was registering -6C at noon  Still ,have to be grateful that the Fuel Tanker got through and delivered 1,000 litres... we've been running on empty this last week and the dip stick was barely wet at its end. Our longest house icicle is now 34". That's a serious weapon.

Glad to hear your fuel tanker got to you at least if you are warm and dry things dont seem to be as bad. Ordered my oil today, mine is still showing 4 but the way our weather is going it wont take long to show empty. Watch that icicle :o

About two inches of snow overnight here which, according to the local TV news caused absolute chaos throughout Devon and Cornwall, hundreds of schools to be closed and the closure of both Exeter and Plymouth airports. WHY!!!!!

The temperature is currently -40C inland of where I live here in Norway. Not a record though, that's -50.3C!

Here, it's tropical in comparison at a mere -20C..... Had to resort to some heat in the bedroom as it had reached -1C  :)

However, it's forecast that the effects of that storm off East Coast Canada will reach us at the weekend and it will rise above freezing (for the first time in 3 weeks or so)

Good God!

We saw some scary pictures on TV news last night, mostly in Scotland and Poland. Seems the end isn't yet. We definitely feel for you and hope things improve very soon.

Last night I heard it was sitting over Labrador City and they were enjoying some very unusual mild winter weather.

We are promised -20oC on Friday. Looks set for the Bonspiel on the Lake of Menteith this weekend when upwards of 4000 people will take part in the 'Grand Match'. First in 30 years!

I remember that, I had some curling friends who took part. I was a student in Edinburgh at the time. The first time since, eh? I remember Edinburgh as a cold place! So, it was pretty cold then when I was there and there was little house insulation which wouldn't have helped.

It's forecast to head for Greenland and this will give south westerlies across to the northern parts of Norway, but not the UK I'm afraid...

Stephen - Good to at least hear someone will have some relief. I guess it will soon by our turn for another round - which will be #3 since Dec 1st.

As I sit typing, I'm listening to RAIN on the roof; proper, solid, steady rain, the first in months. It's a wonderful sound and has been going for a couple of hours so far, not looking like stopping yet. :)

I feel for all who are experiencing such cold conditions - says she who will experience a couple of forecast days of 41C at the end of the week. I used to say that I would rather the cold than heat but not so sure now.
