This country is utterly pathetic when it comes to weather. The slightest bit of snow and its choas on the roads, carnage on public transport, football matches being called off etc etc etc. For a country that makes SNOW a national headline news event, our complete inability to deal with it when it arrives is an embarrassment.

If we do get a big freeze as they are suggesting on the long range forecast (ie. end of Jan/early Feb.) then it could fcuk our season right up. Feb is going to be a crucial month for us, as they are fixtures we WILL be needing points from!!! We need to win against the teams around us, or we'll be scratching around for last gasp wins in April if not. Can do without fixture congestion in April, as we haven't got the biggest squad as we all know.
Do we really want to go through the agony of last day heroics YET again?
I'm still confident we can do it though, make no mistake. If we can beat teams like Leeds who were in form prior to us playing them, then we have enough quality to stay up.
Thoughts please.

Last nights minimum was 54 f in most of the country, 20 f above normal. Today it is going up 57 f about 15f above normal. Its going down to 45f by Sunday which is normal. Not a big freeze. There will no games called off in February don't worry.

Europe freeze could head west
Click here to play video
Much of north-east Europe is struggling with freezing temperatures and the severe weather may be heading for Britain.
The temperature in Moscow has dropped to -30C and it is possible Britain will also suffer.
A PA WeatherCentre spokesman said: "From around next Thursday the wind does seem to be turning more easterly and it is very cold at the moment in Russia and that is where the air would be coming from. However, it is a long way off and things could certainly change.
"If it happens then there would probably be sub-zero temperatures by day and hard frosts overnight and a risk of snow showers in the east.
"It looks like across much of northern Europe there is a blocking pattern building up so that the normal westerly winds from the Atlantic are being stopped by an anti-cyclone.
"It could well change, but it is kind of a battle of how much the Atlantic influence is going to come in from the west and how far west the high pressure will come across from the east.
"It is a bit dodgy to say at the moment whether it is going to happen or not."

No it isn't. Considering the obsession with tax rises by most people in this country, how many would be happy to pay for the huge tax rises required to improve the infrastructure to sufficiently deal with the inconvenience caused by the annual 2 inches of snow?Easy 10 said:
If we had the climate of Sweden, Switzerland or Norway, the infrastructure would already be in place. But we don't, we're protected by the gulf stream.

One thing is obsessing me at the moment: how come these elderly Russian people that they're showing on the news swimming around in their Soviet-issue bathing suits when it's literally minus 30C outside DON'T GET ILL?
Someone sneezes in the next train carriage to me and I'm ill the next day. What's that all about.

It is supposed to be good for you circulation and immune system. My Finnish mum in law loves swimming in holes in frozen lakes. I tried it once, naked in -12 air temp, and I honestly thought I was going to die.
