-9 C this morning

[Grandad Gaz]

Anyone beat that?

I'm supposed to be heading up the M1 to Hinckley this morning, but I might not even bother.

Does salt still work in these temps?

[herbialfa]

Just checked outside at bang on 8am. -8 and thats in Sprowston, Norwich!

[egomeister]

What are the roads like near you at the moment? Heading over that way in a bit, so I need to figure out how much extra time to allow!

[herbialfa]

If your talking about Norwich, the main roads are fine, but the side roads are like ice rinks!

[egomeister]

Norwich is close enough, I'm heading for near Attleborough. 150 miles in the snow... just what I didn't want!

[dirty boy]

-11 in Lowestoft at 6:30am




My hands were in pain after only 10 mins outside!

[Jerkins]

-11C at Manningtree station this morning - slithered all the way to the station, only to find that my train had more than half of its doors frozen shut. The train guard reckoned that it was going to get cancelled at Colchester on safety grounds... I gave up and slithered home again.

Fortunately my boss didn't make it in from north of Colchester - his car reported -12!

It's a balmy -5 outside now - I think I'll get the deckchairs out... might not bother with the speedos though...

-11.5 on the M1 circa J13 this morning

[BliarOut]

Pfft, I'll still be commuting between Peterborough and Spalding on the bicycle tonight...

[kwock]

-10 in Chelmsford according to my car, though there wasn't much wind so it didn't feel too bad. Suns out now and it's a toasty -6.

[eccles]

Had -12 indicating in my car on the way to work this morning at Barking near Needham Market. By the time I got into work it was mere -7 indicated, then by the time I got home to Needham at just after 5pm it was already -6!

[Simpo Two]

I was in bed

Ventured into Colchester this pm for some last minute presents and it was 28F so only about -3 in new money. (Actually I use F above freezing and C below but can't be bothered to alter the display)

[crankedup]

I'm off to London on Christmas Eve visiting Daughter for the Christmas, looking at the forecast I may need sledge and team of huskies, anyone ideas as to where I can hire please.

[eccles]

Get yourself over to the Thetford/Brandon area in the morning and hang around the forest, you'll see loads of mushers out practising with their dogs.
Try to avoid 2 mile bottom though, that has a reputation for different sorts of activities named after dogs!

Eccles , your a top dog, good man. I have also read up that whiskey freezes at -17 so I shall tuck a bottle in an old woolly sock for insulation during my journey, could I get done for drinking while mushing

[Podie]

I'll see your -9 and raise you...
