It's been great up to now, even if there hasn't been much snow.

From xmetman, for a few days ago - I'm the coldest blob on the south coast, same thing happened a few years back only even more localized and pronounced.
People laugh when I say when it's cold we are often the coldest area in the country.
I see the carrot of a return to cold later in February remains............ for now.
Must be true, verified by the Daily Mail !People laugh when I say when it's cold we are often the coldest area in the country.

1023 deaths caused by the -5 temps,
It comes after 1,023 more deaths than average were recorded in the week temperatures hit -5C this January, does that sound right, are people sleeping in the garden ?
Surely there would be an outcry, must be more to it ?

To be clear, it doesn't mean that 1,023 frozen bodies are found, just that the death rate increases above the norm. There'll probably be all sorts of extra deaths ranging from respiratory problems, exacerbation of existing medical ailments, heart attacks right thorough to obvious cold related deaths like slips on ice.Surely there would be an outcry, must be more to it ?
If you're very old, and can't properly afford to heat your home then when it gets colder outside, it will get noticeably colder inside. In the course of my work I've been in the home of a young family in winter who couldn't afford gas, and it was about 10 degrees in the living room. That won't do an 80 year old much good...
