The Cold.

It's a good job that I did not pay any attention to the crazy outpourings of the tabloid press who insisted that last night - 'the coldest of the year' - would see temperatures everywhere of -10.
After the BBC Online debacle of Boxing Day for Steel City, I decided not to follow the ravings and consequently did not put on my central heating overnight. Lowest temperature here in Sheffield-where-the-sun-always-shines was a relatively acceptable -3. Better weather here on New Year's Day to melt all the leftover snow - if I dare to believe the Beeb Online ever again, that is.
