I like the cooking tip! I used to work in IT and once we got a batch of dodgy hard drives in, we used to put them in the fridge for 24 hours and it used to work!
Well I am classed as inland (Waterlooville) and I still got a shedload of rain today. TBH, I had my fill of snow over the last few days and although I'd love to see more, I don't mind a few days of slightly milder weather while we get Xmas sorted!
