Unbelievable, Orlando will be twice as cold tonight.........

Orlando is expected to to have a night temperature of 5 C tonight while we have 10C.

Maybe Al Gore knows what he's talking about?

Agree with Bas. How will you keep your beer cold if it becomes tropical?

We've come a long way since this:

"Before mechanical refrigeration systems were introduced, people cooled their food with ice and snow, either found locally or brought down from the mountains. The first cellars for keeping food cold and fresh were holes that were dug into the ground and lined with wood or straw and packed with snow and ice. For a while, this was the only means of refrigeration throughout most of history."

Mechanical refrigeration? Is it self winding?

Too expensive for me and I hear without a winder perpetual can be hard to maintain so I guess my hole out back will have to keep working.

I went for a nice long run in the countryside this morning, -5C everything was frozen and the sun was shining, best weather there is

I have converted to wearing gloves and a thermo longsleeved shirt when it's freezing, but I keep wearing the shorts during my runs

As long as your gloves match your shoes you're good.

I posted a picture of me in a tee and shorts in the snow a few years back, can't find the picture anymore as I used photobucket but I recall you sarcastically said I was well dressed for the occasion
