<\/a><\/a>Just got back from a four days holiday in the north, and blimey it sure IS freezing and packed with snow up there – even in the southern parts. Never in my life have I experienced anything like that back home. Cars driving on the frozen ocean, snowmen that last for a month and a half, polar bears on the streets…<\/p>\n
