Re: Cold Winter?


Good thread
Our winter weather here does get very cold! WE will have -20 F to minus -30 F at times. Everything freezes up tighter than a drum! Now snow is a different story Snow is a grand part of residing in the North country here in the USA ............ but in the winter of 1977 I was living in Buffalo NY and there was a blizzard there that lasted for over 40 days straight *no lie* The snow covered the top of one story houses - we were snowed in for over 2 months - where ever you were when that storm hit off the Great lakes is where you stayed! We tunneled out eventually (literally) Even big army trucks got stuck and buried trying to dig out that city! The temperatires were minus 60F for days at a time...........

Please forgive me for not knowing how to translate F into Celcius

Hey Pidd!

Here's a pic from last winter from our friends in Maine (1000 miles from nowhere, as his email signature has it!). It's a snow tunnel their 2 girls made for themselves over the course of a weekend!



We tend to have a touch of the vapours if we have 2 inches of snow!

Re: Cold Winter?


I've only just put the heat on today... But that's mostly cos I'm still having a sore throat (no voice at all actually) and was freezing..

But I have a plaid made of wool, that I have over my duvet, when I go to bed at night.. It gets pushed of during the night, when I get warm...

Brrrr I ought to live half the year in the warmer countries....

'81.. hmmm I was 10 then... Cant remember a harsh winter then... well I can remember, we used to have white christmas's... we havent had that for a few years

Pat, we have had snow here in april aswell...

Re: Cold Winter?

Re: Cold Winter?


I think (hope) the news I heard would only allow gas to industrial users on a limited basis if that proved necessary.
There's surely no way domestic consumers can be restricted - it would be dangerous - pilot lights would go out etc.
