>BTW, even dirty water has frozen outside. AFAIK, 0C is when the pure water freezes; the dirtier it is, the lower the freezing temperature... and now the ashtray bucket froze too. bRRRRRRRR.

Its almost -10 C up here now. we've had a few inches of snow last night and probably some more this evening. I know this is nothing compared to the canadians and the north of the US, but we're experiencing the coldest winter in a long time, esspecially given the fact that the forecast does not see an end to the freezing wheather.

If ít was not for the snow ruining the ice, we'd be skatiing on the ice now and would have an elfsteden tocht in a weeks time. (last time was in 1996)
