It is very difficult to work out where it is cold and where there is

I just got in the handover to the forecaster " Can it possibly get any
colder than this?"


Yes I saw that. Quite brilliant. Also talking about the record not being likely to go for the coldest ever. Jesus. The whole thing's been blown out of proportion. It's January. It snows. Much as I'd like it to snow down here , thank heavens it hasn't for the amount of media nonsense we'd get with reporters "posted" everywhere awaiting the next snowflake with baited frosty breath.
