We Brits really are wimps!

During the awful snow that refused to leave of last winter, I opened the car door and a huge clump of snow fell from the top of the door/roof onto the floor inside the car. With full heater blast I went out, 15 minutes drive, 20 minutes later I drove the 15 minutes back - and when I got home the snow was still perfect snow inside the car - now I'd call that cold :D

Karennina, Mr Toky & I were skiing in Austria last week. We bought a couple of bananas and took them in my wee backpack up the mountain. 3 hrs later we stopped for a coffee......( well..... it was a hot chocolate with rum!)and went to eat the bananas. Not only were they frozen solid, the skins had  changed from a yucky green colour, to completely black. We ended up sticking them on a snowman some kids were building outside a mountain hut!
:D
