-8 here in France, sunny all day, heck of a chilly wind though, I had a pile of rocks to shift today, but they're all stuck together, weirld that there's no frost at all, just looks like a normal day except everything is frozen solid. Expecting to hit -12 tonight and tomorrow. Brrr.

Hardly a Beast, more like a chihuaua from the next street, pretty mild in Burnley right now.

I've put some salt and grit on the road in case the forecast is correct.

Forecast: 5 inches
translation: 5 millimetres but that's still maybe enough for Surrey Boy to claim he can't get to work even though he could walk to a railway station and he bought wifey that 4x4 for her birthday so that she can show off to her friends and pretend she lives in the country.

We had some people at work today(City of London) who claimed they couldn't get in due to snow. I'm out in the sticks and 600 feet above sea level and we had a mild dusting only.

Some people are desperate for any excuse to scive off
