bad weather coming : Happy New Year

Sky News' forecasters have already warned that tonight's temperatures could drop to as low as -7C and although snow is always more likely over higher ground, central and southern England could get some, too.
"The winds from Siberia are going to make it extremely cold - like the conditions we experienced in January 1987 where it was -12C (10.4F) in the south.
"The average temperature for January as a whole will be close to freezing - 0.8C (33.4F) at best."
temperatures could plummet to -17C (1.4F) in the Midlands.
Some forecasters are predicting a second, more severe arctic blast to arrive in late January or early February, bringing the coldest temperatures in Britain more than a decade.

oh goody..... better make sure Claire and Oren bring their woolies.
(some nice photos of the plants I bought yesterday and himself ready to greet the New Year.)

Had a lovely New Years Eve went to Toto and talked to our neighbours, ate ( good UK buffet all cold and made up of processed meat products, mini pork pies, mini wrinkled sausages)
Danced to the DJ and stayed up till 1am.

After our horrible Christmas it was a lot more relaxed, back in Dunedin Claire was going to try and get out for a while with friends.
Then on the 2nd start to move into her flat.

A whole new year begins.
Hope you are all looking forward to a happy, healthy 2008.
