Between Insch and Huntly. (and yes, the well's in my garden... hehe )

My benz is buried under a 3 foot deep snow drift that has frozen completely solid. Won't be moving for a while...

It's a balmy -14 now.

Nice part of the world, though. I stayed up in Keith for a week a few years ago on a fishing jolly. Spent 93% of the time absolutely muntered.

i once severely injured a focus estate hire car in -18C temperatures. Left outside for 4 days and nights without being started, it made a right fuss come leaving time.

Love the cold weather - its so much more interesting than the usual rain we get!

I drove through Lumsden and Rhynie on Saturday. Ridiculous amounts of snow, even more than in Alford just 10 or so miles away. Friend in Craigellachie measured 56cm of snow on their car Sat morning! And if it was -19C in Alford last night, it must have been close to -25C on the Cabrach which is about the coldest place in the UK (always at least 5C colder than Alford)

I agree that Al Gore's arguments are very selective. But, similarly, one cold winter does not prove that climate change isn't happening! Climate change is evidenced through decade-scale trends, not year-to-year 'noise' due to prevailing weather patterns...

Surely that must be close to a record low for the UK??

Record low for UK is -29C in Braemar in 1995. But it was certainly colder than that in places that didn't have Met Office weather stations.
