Anne,

I am not sitting in a freezing cold house again so we loaded up and fishtailed over to my in-laws house. Roads are nasty. I'd try to change lanes and the ruts were so high they would just push me back into my lane.

Another couple of days and you will be certified for Kansas city in February weather.

A boat apparently got pushed a little bit up a beach and a bloke's house collapsed into the sea while he was having a cup of tea. And I think my Gran's windows rattled a little bit. It was a tiny bit chilly in London and our garden furniture fell over.

All of which, I believe, is an excuse to crack open a Chateauneuf du Pape or maybe a big strapping red from Argentina

Last night was a holy mess on the roads (sleet and then snow), everyone forgot how to drive and behaved like morons. This morning the interstate was spotless (the side roads not so much) so getting to the office was a piece of cake. I guess a lot of the previously mentioned idiots stayed home!

But the snow falling now will probably stick again and we'll have another 1 1/2 hour drive home.

I think a CdP will be on the menu too, I'll think about food later.

They have a picture of their sign with snow on it so it must of snowed at some time in the last 5 years.

Had a Samoyed that would not come in the house if it was snowing....just laid down outside and waited until it was covered in snow. You could barely see the white on white!

Status: offline 		20F? Pah! I laugh at your 20F

Parts of my kitchen were -79C (that's -109F to you guys in the US) this afternoon.

Welll ok, only a small bit. I blasted out some dry ice from the CO2 extinguisher and used it to insta-freeze what is quite possibly the finest vanilla cinnamon ice cream I have ever made. Also amazingly good fun to get all that dry ice "smoke" pouring out of the mixer when the ice hits! If you want to impress at a dinner party use this stuff to make the ice cream in front of your guests in less than a minute. Just make sure it's all dissolved before anyone eats it...

Thanks Heston, I'm a convert!
