Incredible cold is not all that far away from us 🥶

Daytime temperatures across Scandinavia remain up to 20 Celsius BELOW normal.

This sort of cold used to happen every other winter, but has become far less common in recent decades.

Word of the day is another old favourite.

A 'mumpsimus' (16th century) is someone who insists that they are right, despite clear evidence that they are not.
