We've had a lot of snow here over the last fortnight. It seems that it's come early this year although that's the sort of thing that everyone says.
When walking to the shops yesterday I had to wear my snow boots which was a bit novel. It was like being on the ski fields but on the streets.
We have little snow drifts on the deck of our 16th floor apartment. Yesterday the iPhone weather app read minus 16 degrees but I think they must have their measurement out in a field somewhere. The temperature in the city with tall buildings around tends to be warmer. Maybe minus 8 degrees - positively tropical. If the wind comes up though the chill factor brings it considerably down.
There's no self consciousness in dress though when it gets really cold. People go out in the most ridiculous hats and cold weather gear truly looking like 'Nanooks'. My "bag-of-busted-arseholes" style fits in quite well at last.
We're going east for Christmas to warmer climes. Aberdeen!
