No kidding, I mentioned the cold weather to an old guy yesterday and he said: "On December 1 in 1941, it was colder. I was 19 years old and I was 18 kilometers before Moscow wearing boots with hobnails (which are nails inserted into the soles of the boots) and summer uniform. That was cold! I realised we would lose this war."

50 to 70 cm here, and another delivery due tommorow. But life goes on as usual, we have our little date with the shovel enough to get the car out then go to the pub like its summer. The bitching about roads being a mess is after we drive back home

Makes you feel a little humble there.

Classic stuff, that, the Elizabethan Express and the Night Mail are my favourites.

Very humbling indeed, the beginning of the end of the Third Reich there. Lucky guy to make it out of the Eastern Front with everything still attached.
