I imagine this will be taxing allot of the buildings and people there. Whether you use extra plastic or blankets at your windows will help retain some of the heat during your extreme weather.
Good luck and hope you keep warm.

It's been pretty mild here so far this Fall. Only a few short stretches of colder than average weather but it's early yet. I bet your glad you have wood heat.

Still cold either way.

Brrr. -19 °C in Wales. Diesel congeals at -15 °C. Lots of stuck cars in those temps. Looks like there are going to be a lot of sad looking gardens next spring. Those temps are killer.

I spent an hour on the phone today with friends in northern Wales, and they were envious, thinking of my wood stoves going over here in Colorado. It is about the coldest it's ever been over there for this time of year. Stay warm in the Isles.

Meh, try -32c for days then complain. But , then again its a dry cold.

Your home is built for it due to your climate. Theirs is not. Their -20 would be your -45 and having undersized furnaces with windows that dont close & no block heaters for your vehicles. That's like me saying to you that your -32 is chicken feed. From up here that is. Other places that would be understandingly crippling.

I,ve seen footage of cars sliding around the black ice on the roads there in the UK! No one likes that!! Drive slow and stay warm by the fire Neil. Good luck!
