I have heard several references of late on forecasts I quote " now a
very
cold Continent". Well this is not really so.
Current temperatures mid afternoon Warsaw 1C, Berlin 1C, to the
southeast
Budapest at 1C, Vienna 1C and to the north east Helsinki minus 2C.
Moscow is
chilly with minus 17C and even lower in parts of the city but as yet
this
air is some distance from us.

.... yes indeed: just waiting for the first use of the phrase " .... an
icy blast all the way from Siberia"!
