Actually, the ice was one thing but now it's warmed up (0C today) so now we're into freeze-thaw which I hate almost as much!<br /><br />Lisa, hi! Will be over shortly!<br /><br />KM, I would say you've just coined a new phrase. Just off to put on my leg-gins... (Can you do one for vodka though?)<br /><br />Helen, I hate that! (Although actually I'm far more likely to need to wear socks in bed in the UK since the heating is so much better here)<br /><br />HCM, I thank you...<br /><br />EPM, I knew it was you (well, Mike never commented on here so I took a wild guess). Nature's botox, eh? Will remember that when I'm freezing in Morzine at the end of next week on MY GIRL'S SKI TRIP!!! (Excited, me?)<br /><br />Iota, leg-gins? You? Had you down for cinzano girl... (And I think you have me beat on the ice story...)<br /><br />MM, don't feel bad - I bet our house is warmer than yours,s o I have nothing to complain about really...)Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-89648518741110917322011-01-10T13:07:49.022+00:002011-01-10T13:07:49.022+00:00Wow.

When the traffic lights changed to green, one or two cars would manage to get across the junction before they changed back to red. I was terrified. The weird thing was, that conditions had been bad but not impossible, when I set out to school from home. The temperature dropped so fast, that by the time I'd got the kids and was setting out for home, things were completely different.<br /><br />I can't match the mental image of you a la Incredible Hulk, though.<br /><br />I'm off to put my leg gins on now.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-12572882542996098382011-01-09T22:29:20.156+00:002011-01-09T22:29:20.156+00:00Our last day in Colorado was -13 Farenheit, which ...Our last day in Colorado was -13 Farenheit, which I do believe is about -25C. <br />It was SO cold that my forehead froze.

Meanwhile we were away and unable to clear the snow. So....once back, I spent a good half an hour every day this week chipping away at the big piles of ice on our driveway. (It was actually strangely satisfying when a big slab came away - although it did my shoulders in). And I can sympathise, because I bet it was ten times worse where you are. <br /><br />Be strong, PM - and remember, it's all an experience!nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-47939002821613514822011-01-08T21:09:19.107+00:002011-01-08T21:09:19.107+00:00Erm, we had so much snow my wheelie bin actually l...Erm, we had so much snow my wheelie bin actually looked pretty.
