It's a rather warm -4C (with windchill that's -9C ) over here, it will warm to 1C later tonight when we're expecting 1 - 3 cm of snow overnight (oh joy, clearing the driveway in the dark with manflu tomorrow morning 
)
)

I was walking in it at dawn. Canal frozen pretty much enough to skate on now. Fountains in Trafalgar Square have been switched off - frozen solid. I'll be walking back along the towpath after dark tonight. Probs be about minus 9 or 10.
None of this ghay car driving for me!

was out cycling in it last night- bingley west yorkshire: the water in my camel back type drink thing kept freezing up in the tube.
between the 5 of us: two had broken chains: it was absolutely as grim as anything fixing chains on top of ilkley moor in this weather. A lot better keeping moving and warm.

I remember one year, over Christmas/New Year, we had a problem with our gas, had a small fire, and the gas was condemned. No heating, hot water, fire or cooker, but for all that bad stuff, we were more a family than ever, snuggling up etc. It was good in that way, but bloody cold.
Hope you get it fixed soon, for now it'll be coal fire and cuddles, I think.
