Forecast for cold here as well, dont know what's going to happen the poor lads in work as they've already got more layers on than an onion, I've a feeling a couple of them may actually seize up and die if they have to work in anything close to freezing conditions.

What do you do pal 

[Nicepix 5,650]

The first day I arrived in France was -20C overnight. There was over a foot of snow and it didn't get above -8C for 2 weeks and that was in full sun. Minus 25C towards the latter end at night.  The 2 bedroom cottage I had rented had one 4kw log burner and no logs. I managed to scrounge half a cube later on. The gas bottle had frozen as had the water. When I took the dog out for a walk round the fields there were dead birds everywhere, lapwings, pigeons, partridge. I had to cook on top of the log burner, buy water in 5 litre bottles to warm up on the stove to wash in and bought a couple of electric oil filled heaters for the bedroom before the shops ran out of heaters. Little wife was due to fly out a couple of days after I got there, but I told her to cancel. On the 15th day the snow melted, and a week later there was frog spawn in the flooded wheelings.
