They're a joke and until such time as people keep heeding them they'll continue. Having said that, work was a pure joy today as there was no one on the roads!!

Ten Pin wrote: » Reason it doesn't feel as cold is due to the Siberian air mass being so dry. Normally our air mass has higher humidity and makes it feel colder. Similar to when you get out of the shower. Once you dry off it feels less cold. Put your hand in a basin of water, go outside and you're hand will be dry in a minute. That wouldn't happen if this was an Atlantic air mass.
