We have caught some news of snow and school closures in UK this past week but here we are beginning to get the jist of what the locals mean when they said last winter was mild. Although we have yet to see any major snow fall (just a smattering here and there), the last 2 mornings we have woken up to temperatures of -10C (or local currency about 12F) and even after a full day of glorious blazing sunshine the temperature mid-afternoon has cranked up to an astounding -5C (19F). The cold blast is set to continue for the next few days when it is due to ease up with some snow as the weather warms up........ Icicles are everywhere (including on the car bumpers) and the pool is completely frozen. Was it really 40C about 5 months ago, and will be again in another few months? Anyhow, no excuse for them not to be making snow at the ski resorts so maybe we will ski this weekend, and a chance to pay the blog some long overdue attention - watch out for some catching up.
