Haven't had a frost yet here in Wembury this winter.
Do they know something I don't?

Maybe, it's -3 up here and with a moderate northerly will make it's

Where were they last December when we needed them?
They abandoned us. Our road was impassable for a week and the few

Damed if they do, damned if they don't. Make your mind up...
