Hoy, thanks for the link. Didn't understand a word of it but beautiful scenery and a few reminders that even in Norway snow and cold cause problems. Now what was I supposed to be doing for the last half hour

Trond, I use Google Translate on Internet Explorer, where it works well enough, although the translations for some languages are pretty funny.  However, I primarily use Mozilla Firefox (better, faster, doesn't freeze like I.E 8.x does all the time, has "tabs" that actually work), but Google Translate doesn't always automatically come up with Firefox, not sure why.

John they are saying on the news programmes that money could be spent on airports and roads but we dont normally get weather like this. Our average December temperature is 7C.

N Ireland right now is colder than easter Europe. Over here we usually say it's Baltic outside even for a slight freeze. It's colder than the Baltic countries also

The forecast is for -27 in parts of N Ireland tonight

I have never experienced -27C here (at the coast) in the 25 years I have lived here! But the inland and further north -27 is not uncommon. The coldest last night was -35C in southern Norway.

Amazing Mark, that must be a record for Ireland.

It's cold, last night we were -23.5 degrees below zero.
 It is predicted cold over Christmas, hoping for some milder weather thereafter.

-8C here with not a snowflake in sight, but we had freezing fog this morning.
Here are a few pics I got when walking the dog.

Now it really has been cold for here for quite some time. Even the stream has started to freeze!

Looks familiar!

Fine pictures Michael. 

No fog here, but snow sparkling in the moonlight.  At about 7:45 this morning the moon was already a striking red even though the eclipse was not yet total.  Unfortunately it sank behind a bank of cloud on the NW horizon so the spectacle was cut short.
