Default It's f-f-f-f-f-f-cold today!

Must be at least -2 today, the roads were twinkling like the stars above, and even with two layers of gloves on my fingers nearly fell off.

Still, that's the December ride out of the way.

I was a good girlfriend today and went and de-iced and de-misted Dans car for him to go to work! It was a pretty thick and the village looked gorgeous all covered in white. Oddly though, I wasn't that cold stood out there for 10 mins???

Hit some black ice a few times on the commute, did a bit of a chicken dance. Why is it that there is only ever black ice on a bend when a huge truck is coming the other way?

That is because you are a weirdo.

I nearly fell on my bum about half an hour ago when I went out to de-ice the car - the driveway has been black iced!! Still only 1 degree here...BRRR!

Oh yes, colder to come I'm sure. I still have nightmares about the trip to the restaurant on my wife's birthday last year (Dec 30). The car said it was -6 when we set out and a "puckering" -10 on the way back. Of course we had to choose that out of the way scenic place with the steep hills and the single track roads most of the way...
