Ten days ago I awoke to find the thermometer down to -29C; quite cold, but not near the coldest we have around here. *But* within 24 hours it was +1C and got a little warmer before cooling off again. Right now it's -14C. We've had it very cold in Toivakka from time to time. The lowest in my experience so far was -48C in 1983. My wife's little car, brought from SA when we came here (a Golf), was the only car in the village that ran properly - don't ask me why! _______________ Dr E D F Williams http://personal.inet.fi/cool/don.williams Author's Web Site and Photo Gallery See New Pages 'The Cement Company from HELL!'
