Early last year with time to kill on a Sunday afternoon, me and an exploring buddy went out to take some pictures of Liverpool in the snow. Needless to say, it ended up somewhere high, but I've never in all my life known icey winds like it! The floors were sheets of ice, and the wind absolutely howled through, and so we were only there for about 15mins or so...

Frosty In Liverpool too.

At first when I went out on my bike, fingertips were In pain from the cold and my asthma was going off because I couldn't breath through my nose which happens sometimes.

Eventually the longer I'm out the more immune to the cold I am.

You should be ok coming to London most of the snow has turned to slush but we did have loads all the kids made up as all schools where closed snowball fights all day. Suprisingly the kids where up by 7 oclock not like this when going to school :shock: Tomorrow we are getting ice in the morning but they think it will be clear soon after. All the pictures are great.
Have a good trip to London :celb (23):

White River claims to be the coldest spot in Ontario according to Wikpedia..

The Canadian record holder is Snag, Yukon at -81F.

I have been out at -50C (or -58F) in Whitehorse and that was cold enough. I didn't try the peeing test.http://www.yoliverpool.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif
