Yes - just like the good ol' days. Or Dec, Jan, Feb as we call it in
these parts. Still look on the bright side Keith - the ground has dried
out with the good start to March and there are actually signs of the
grass starting to grow!

Incidentally I think we called it "Haar" when I was a lad in
Lincolnshire?

We don't seem to have a name for it down here in the SE (or in Kent at
least). "Up north" (ie from Essex northwards) I'm sure there are a number of
different terms - clag, haar, fret etc.

Whatever it's called, I've been enjoying it - I like cold weather at any
time of year.

I could think of a fitting name for it.
