Polar Shcmoller .. don't forget we have the Antarctic Base .. if we get a fleet of Skyhooks , only need a dozen or so we could hook it and drag it out to sea .

Hatches all battened down, just in case. Hopefully more of a media storm than an actual storm... Here's a cute look at it on Stuff.

Ok guys, I just had the best idea.
Make your way to EDDT, I'll get the beer, and we can have a barbeque.

Not much of a winter here, took this picture about 3 minutes ago.

This is Celsius:

I'll have you shipped some, if that works.

Well, nothing's better than sunny thoughts on a cold winter night! Some grog might help as well!
Cheers mates!

Actually it's not as bad as you'd think - in a country that's prepared for snow (winter tires, huge amounts of insulation, etc). I still prefer snow over wind smile.gif
