I believe it was forecast for a terrible winter in England, did that happen? It has certainly started happening here, it hit -32 last night and is forecast for -37/40 before weekend. We have double glazing in the flat and it is completely iced up on the inside, we have icicles forming from the window. There is even an icicle coming down from the window opening handle! However, the heating in the flat is fine and we are still warm! Outside it is difficult to breath and your nose freezes up on the inside almost in an instant. On monday night I drove back from Saint Petersburg and it hit -28, the antifreeze for the windscreen washers was starting to freeze! This is certainly the coldest moscow winter I've experienced.

Just found a bbc news report on it - http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/n...2006news.shtml
