Look on the bright side, is today the winter solstice ? If so the days should start getting longer not long until the good (?) weather returns 
not long till winter in other words.
:rasp
its been a wierd kinda winter so far dont you guys think? apart from the last week or two its been relatively mild temperature wise and weather wise dont yous think?? as long as this doesnt mean we are in for an extended period of stupid coldness that lasts till about april its all good in my book 
but i have to say my wee polo and the golf are loving this dense cold air :D:D
