i was absolutely freezing de-icing my car this morning. had to use my old council tax payment card as it was all i had. then my washers were frozen up for ages and i could hardly see anything. the fog has lifted here though which is a bonus i suppose.

No ice around my area as yet, but I always start car 15 minutes before I leave for work.
Just really foggy at the moment, making the conditions quite hard on the way to work.

Was pretty damn chilly this morning. I ended up having to de-ice my front and back window with my debit card. Was great fun, though when I got into the car it was pretty warm having warmed up and all ;)
Listening to a bit of Jimmy Eat World was a good start to the day.
