Can anyone here manage it?

I never can, though that might be partly because they generally occur
on
muggy nights where it's hard to drop off anyway.

I find it difficult, but mainly because of the child in me, you remember
when you was a kid and it was snowing outside, you just had to keep
getting
up and looking out of the curtains.

As I recall, it was far more often a case of looking out of the window
and wondering 'where is that snow they forecast?'

Yep. I can remember many disappointments, notably that Saturday night in
February 1978 when the great West Country snowstorm failed to spread
across into SE England as had been forecast.

seems hot at night still

Boy, this is an old thread - I started it 13 months ago!
