Our spring was wonderful, but summer is over now and we missed out on autumn. And now, all of a sudden, it's cold, so cold that everything is freezingover.
Because the ground is always frozen, there is little indoor plumbing and most bathrooms are outhouses and cell phones and car engines are constantly in peril of freezingover.
The report said that a dramatic reduction in duck numbers spending the winter at Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland, suggested some key bodies of water in Europe were no longer freezingover.
