Baby, its cold outside

Being near the coast, Edinburgh does not get a lot of frost and snow in Wintertime, but this year ir has been different. Scotland is currently in the grip of the most prolonged cold snap for decades and parts of the city, mine included, have been snow covered for over 2 weeks with more to come! Currently there is a covering outside my house of around 30 cm with more to come, tonight and for the next few days. Even the centre of town has snow lying and the footpaths are pretty treacherous.
