Someone who works at our local airport told me that in Heathrow, they have anti-freeze that works down to -5C. You know that makes a weird sort of sense. I remember reading that the Fahrenheit scale has its zero point at -18 degrees Celsius because that was the coldest temperature that Fahrenheit could produce, so the fact that Heathrow didn't plan for below -5degrees Celsius just seems to fit.
I think I will have a very quite but pleasant time with K and his family. Plus I have found that the town they live in actually has snow. So at least I am likely to get a white Christmas.
