    I really did try to embed one of those (-32(3/5)) formula type
    thingys, but this crap newsreader wouldn't do it and I'm too lazy to
    work it out. So there.

    Well looks like Andy's fingers and my nose will survive.

    It would have to be very cold to loose bollocks.

  7. Fucking ditto that.
    Apart from the heated gloves did you have hand guards or a handshield of
    any sort?

  8. With a LandRanger backup to nip into the warmth with the camera crew, I
    bet they would.

    Brush guards plus bar muffs plus heated grips as backup. Still not
    enough!

    I had cause to do that the other night - foul conditions: gusting near
    a gale, throwing big handfuls of chunky rain, bits of tree whirling
    about, that ugly sort of night when you're grateful for a tin roof and
    toughened glass all round. I turned my headlights on three times
    (after I'd already turned them on, obviously) as they appeared to be
    doing nothing. The fourth time, I turned them off and discovered that
    they were actually doing quite a lot, really. Turned 'em back on for
    the fifth time, gave up and drove more slowly.

    The OP might be interested to know that if you simply type:

    72F in C or 72F in C

    into the Google search bar[1], the number you're seeking will magically
    appear, even before pressing the Enter key if you have Google so
    configured.

    I've managed to get rather comfortable with doing conversions in my
    head using a variety of methods depending on my state of mind and
    how accurate the answer needs to be. But not everyone is similarly
    inclined, so I usually express temperatures in °C in UKRM and °F
    elsewhere, or include both. (ALT+248 on the number pad = ° symbol
    in Windows).

    [1] Or just the normal address bar in Chrome. I have already sold
    my soul to Google so I love this feature.

    I happen to know a bit about this from attempting to commute ~17 miles at
    temperatures around freezing. I would not have even attempted the journey
    you intrepid adventurers did without also having heated gloves in addition
    to the stuff you mentioned.

    A bunch of flowers should do
    waiting, or attendance

    Saw that the story about The Frozen Five now is the most read one :)

    Oops, sorry. With a Mac the cut, copy & paste commands are much easier
    than with windows, so I usually don't engage my brain into copying a
    short URL into my browser.
