Slightly different for me Daz, got average temp of -8 here next week. Took abit of advice from here last week from Matt B about just doing downstairs and / or working with a pole. Worked fine downstairs only but when I did some upsatirs with trad pole and Wagtail it drove me nuts. Slow at first too, need more practice.
Had a foot of snow here for 2 weeks now, and still light snow now, sick of the stuff lol
