Same here Dave (Norfolk UK) Went down the garden to put food out for the birds (including a new one, a rather smart male pheasant, which I suspect is taking refuge from the guns, as the shooting season is in full swing) I was wearing my fluffy slippers, and they got soaked by the slushy wet muck on the path. It's dark too and like living in a tunnel. Very depressing. It's officially 2 degrees C. Can't stand much more of this! :(
