Title: -5 here this morning.
Post by STMO123 on 20. Dec 2009 at 09:49
The ice was as thick on the inside of the windscreen as out side. Managed to get the wife to church ok, but I'm going to Liverpool tomorrow for my mum's 80th, so hope conditions are a bit better.
My washer bottle was frozen solid, doesn't seem to make much difference what I put in it. Anyway, I got it flowing and I've drained it right off so I can just top up with warm water staight away in the morning.

PS. The post man came at 9:30!!!!!!!!! :o

Pollen Filter  ::)

Its cold is so dry here, there is no ice forming on the car, there is just no moisture in the air. Snow freezes to it if we get a dusting but thats about it.

Dogs need a walk today, going to have to wrap up. Feel sorry for the dogs, Mother tunnie picked a good time last week for the dogs to have their hair cut  ;D

It was -3.5 here at 13:00 after several hours of bright sunshine.  Think it might get really cold tonight.
