    So any one else thinking it might be a snow day for them tomorrow ?
    Snows coming down well here in Sussex and is set to till 7 am apparently, so with that and the fact not one single gritter has been out I think it may be a snow day tomorrow.

    Oh and the fact I parked my work van down the bottom of a hill :D

    I don't think it'll be a snow day for me but it may well be a front wheel drive day.

    Does it use a chimney or a metal flue mate ?

    Might just be because its so cold outside and its not getting warm enough to start drawing.
    If you have a blow torch or something use that to heat the chimney up.
    Just stick it up the chimney for a bit on full whack.

    Would also help in future if you had a flue liner dropped down the chimney aswell, will also be safer.

    Brilliant sunshine here. Yesterday's cold and wind burned off most of the moisture in the air so no frost, only exposed water has made any ice so all in all an excellent day as long as any exposed flesh isn't facing the wind.
