Hope things get back to normal for you all soon dj. Here in the UK we have had an 'Artic' blast this last few days all the way from Siberia. Its amazing that a days snow can bring the UK to a virtual standstill. In Finland they are far more geared up for this kind of weather, its hardly a problem! Smile --kp

Yes, good luck, David. Here on the south coast of England a massive half inch of snow was enough to knock out all buses, local and long-distance, all trains. Even a taxi wouldn't take me into town as they said it was gridlocked and they couldn't get anywhere near where I wanted to go (which ultimately was Heathrow airport - but the flight was cancelled too).

And in that weather Sibelius would just have donned his hat and cigar and enjoyed a crisp winter day.

We've had some snow problems of our own in central Kentucky. It's very interesting to know how widespread all this cold is! I'll play some Sibbe today! haha
