These icicles suggest that there must have been a thaw - of sorts - but, it couldn't have lasted too long because last night was alleged to have been the coldest night of the year in parts of the UK. That said, bearing in mind 2010 is little more than a week old, I can't see what the fuss is about. What is clear, however, is that it looks as though some painting might be on the agenda for the summer.
