Remember, all you UKers, that us USians are talking degrees Fahrenheit, not Centigrade/Celsius.

So zero is 32 degrees below freezing.

Actually F is more accurate than C -- more clicks between freezing and boiling temperatures. (More nuances to being uncomfortably cold or uncomfortably hot -- right?)

All I know for sure is we've got a LOT of ice and it's been #%@& cold -- and it's warming up and tomorrow is spozed to be around 50-ish F. Which means the driveway will be MUD not ICE and that, believe it or not, is a heck of a lot worse.

Especially since the wood guy didn't come yesterday as promised.

Sigh. Just part of Life's rich pageant...
