Thanks. I was talking with the ladies at the knitting group I go to and they haven't known it to snow in June for decades and decades. Next week it is due to drop to -5°C at night which is hard because unlike the UK and the cold I'm familiar with, here it drops to the temperature it will be all night, by around 6pm, 1 hour after dark and it will stay that temperature for 12-14 hours before it starts to get warmer in the morning. That's a comparative warmer. Right now it is only varying by 2-3°C between day & night and the humidity is the killer. It's 96-99%. So it's a very wet cold, not a dry cold of Scandinavia that I'm used to. This morning it was only 12°C in the sitting room before the wood burning stove having been lit constantly for the last month or so. (It's very efficient at reducing ash to a fine light grey ash, so I only need empty ash out once every 4-6 weeks). Next week, I think we'll have to run the electric heaters alongside the stove, otherwise I'll need to get up during the night to put more wood in the stove and run it at a much warmer temperature.
Apparently it's the coldest start to a winter since the World War II!
Sorry to hear that! We're in the opposite position, it hasn't been this dry and hot here since the 70's..
What I like about it is that it’s got a very clean, crisp taste, because of the dressing. There’s no sugar in it to dull the sharpness of the vinegar.
