...is not. It's supposed to go up to around 15 on Christmas Day. I don't mind the warm weather, but I sort of feel sorry for the ski-resort operators: it's not. even cold enough to manufacture snow. What are the temps like in Engrainland?

Warm, shopping without a coat today and OH had to cut the grass! That's in Norfolk.

More or less the same then I see. As I said, it doesn't bother me one iota; however, years ago when I used to do a lot of Nordic skiing I'd have been a tad miffed at this warmth.

The last few times that I have been in North America, the temperatures have been the same as in the UK. Everywhere seems to be very mild at the moment.

I stayed at the Fairmont in Toronto in Feb 2012 and went across the road to the train station to get the viarail train to Vancouver. On that journey, I had never seen so much snow in my life. I wonder if there would be so much snow this winter?

And the other good news is that starting on Dec. 23rd daylight start to get a little longer each day.
