But a grand auld stretch in the evenings nonetheless.
A good hard frost will kill off a few ould bugs, mayne even covid.
I’m in Edmonton , Canada at the moment. And the temp is -34c and feels like -44. Your freezer goes to -18. Now that’s cold
@BigBadBob: I lived there too but the difference is it’s a very dry cold there is hardly any moisture in the air I found it -30 there like -8 here with the damp
@Gerrard: I agree. Moisture can’t survive in very cold Temps. But that brings other problems.
Besides -30c is still very cold. You can’t go for a long walk in it and if you do, it’s harder and your legs freeze. When you leave the house for anything, even for a minute, you need a coat. Driving is treacherous and roads are not cleared of snow.
Please don’t scratch out a window box of frost like that , for one it’s illegal for 2 it’s downright dangerous , drive responsibly , you being 5 minutes later is not a reason to risk peoples lives
Only 75 days until spring
Snow is on the way too
have your say
