Staying warm this winter 2022

[bigpaul]

it is always said that if we have a hot summer, like the one just gone- in the UK then the following winter will be cold, I live in a mild part of England and the last time I actually saw snow was the winter after we moved in 13 years ago, we generally just get frost and ice down here, we didnt even get much of that last winter, I keep a stock of car deicers and I hardly used any last winter, climate change maybe?
every time there is a winter storm and there is a power cut we get some idiot in front of a camera bleating about "its like the middle ages" when the power is only off for a few hours, makes me laugh every time, I grew up on power cuts, its no big thing.
