Cold Christmas...

And so the big chill continues...
This morning was another freezing start, with fog in places, and the trees coated in hoar frost, which then fell from the trees during the day, but persisted in some places until the sun set.
The full moon added to the magic as well...

The Guardian added a nice INTERACTIVE MAP to the website...

I should imagine that many teachers will start the Spring Term 2011 with a look back at the geographical implications of the big freeze.

Keep an eye on the newspaper front pages and wordle them to uncover the common themes...

  • Sprout shortages due to the freezing weather
  • Transport chaos which led to fuel shortages
  • Hospitals struggling for staff, and blood stocks running low due to donor sessions being cancelled
  • Sports fixtures cancelled
  • Queues around St. Pancras for trains
  • Ice on frozen lakes
  • Skating in the Fens
Have just created a new Twitter feed @FrozenUK where I'll put any stories relating to the freeze that teachers might find useful...
