Yeah,

Thought better of it though.

Cleaning windows is what we do. The weather has never really effected us much until Jan/Feb this year (we have been going 18 years).

If only I could learn to hibernate.....

I'm considering it, here in Surrey.  Had rain most of today with a big sleet shower about an hour ago. More rain to come for next few hours, supposed to be snow for the next 4 days, tomorrow morning looks like -3/-4 with possible heavy snow in morning :(
