Fancy a night outside at the top of Garrowby Hill? Bbrrrr... Not me...

At minus 10 degrees as it was last night it IS 'Arctic' conditions which could kill you in no time. Decisions to travel or not must be weighed up sensibly. There's more to come so don't get too ice cocky...

Don't forget we've got permanent "Ice" road warning signs on Garrowby Lane to help us. What about that then eh? Even in July it might get icy - not.

Arctic, between -25 and -45c

York, around -2 to -10c


It's chilly yes, but hardly Arctic conditions.

More like they knew nobody would bother to go shopping there today so realised it would be more financially viable to close the centre.
