I'm John.
Very stormy in the night. Woken around 3.40am by the roof tiles clattering and howling wind. Gotta say I do not like it one bit. Reported gusts of over 80mph on Portland. Brighter now with the occasional blustery shower. May be able to do our afternoon walk.

Some perspective: https://weather.gc.ca/warnings/repor...0503ww1171cwto
This is for Caledon, Ontario (near Toronto), where we live. Polar vortex is happening again. Last one was New Year's Eve, when it went down to -25C. This time we're expecting temps down to -30C for Friday night, then with wind chill could get down to -40C or lower. Aren't you happy now to be living in the balmy UK?
Enjoy the warm weather there!

I used to work in minus 28. That was a bit nippy. Minus 40 must be physically painful on any exposed skin.

I honestly didn't think it got that cold in the UK... -25 and -28...quite respectable. Martin, at -40 wind chill the frostbite risk is pretty high... 30 seconds to 2 minutes maybe, for exposed skin.
I wonder if vacuum tubes can be used as glove warmers? Perfect shape

Coldest I've worked in outside was -10C and that was in West London overseeing snow clearing operations during the eighties. It was a few degrees colder in rural areas
