Here's a mouth watering link, that is if you like the cold stuff, not only
webcams but current temperatures aswell.

Doesn't this level of expertise make our own Highways' Department in
UK look complete amateurs! Webcams and a great deal more besides in
Finland can't cost the earth.

In the land where Men are Men, and Caribou are Caribou... I was perusing
those webcams just the other day, and caught a cyclist whizzing by on
one; the temperature at the time: -28c!

I can see why they need that service there - it would be useful here
only for finding the gridlocks; but I take your point - it's well up
there on the Cool Scale.

Drat - I must learn to write - that didn't work at all did it?! The
cyclist was on a bike, not a Caribou...

You don't mean you can't wash your hands in a buffalo, do you?

Surely not a Roger Miller fan?
"You can't roller skate in a Buffalo Herd"

That will be lost on most if not all on this group!
But I am sad (well, so my teenagers tell me).
I actually have a Roger Miller CD and looked up the exact title!!!
