SNOWBOMB!
I see the Express is at it again, this time telling us we're going to be wiped out by a snowbomb.

Do they ever get it right? I suppose a broken clock is right twice a day.

Re: SNOWBOMB!
Well, all I can say is; Bring it on.
Winter '63 was "proper cold", & I think being reminded of that sort of weather wouldn't be a bad thing.
Besides, despite TB's recent positive experience, the European Ski resorts are generally reporting a terrible year because it is simply too warm to support a proper snow cover. Apparently pretty much all resorts below 2000m have been plagued by rain.!!
Also, the oil prices are so low at the moment that I don't even mind Deany turning the thermostat up to 16 .!! (Occasionally)

Re: SNOWBOMB!
17.5c or even 16c?? Mrs Gee would cease to function at that temp, sadly ours is perpetually 20C or more, I fight the battles I can win - the thermostat is not one of them.
Fantastic, don't care if it's ice until April if it does away with wasps. I really dislike wasps more than any other creature on this planet. (That I've encountered that is)Norfolknchance wrote:Good, need a serious cold snap to kill off the wasps for the summer.

Re: SNOWBOMB!
You guys are miserable! If the OUTSIDE temp gets below 15-16°C I light the fire. I try to keep a 20°C inside minimum, but with the fire cranked in winter it's usually sits around 24-25°C. But our summers are 30-40°C so I guess we are softMonty wrote:15C in our house, I'd fit a dummy thermostat and let have what ever temperature she thinks it isDeegee wrote:17.5c or even 16c??

In comparison, the HVAC (air con) system at work maintains 24°C inside the accommodation and people complain it feels too cold!

Anyway, it's hardly surprising.; Very stressful times for KK.
However apparently there are some little blue pills that are meant to be very effective.
