Recently we have had a bit of snow here in the UK. My two children built a snowman & I decided to add a finishing touch,my Oct 1992 4003.

I am glad that the snow has melted, it was nice for Christmas but a pain to get to work in the New year.

I certainly wouldnt be taking mine out in the open too long it was -11 in Glasgow and being out too long and bringing back into the warm is tempting fate.But i do think Frosty likes a bit of coldplay......
BTW just out of curiosity with the hollow bodies models having a cavity is their more a chance of Finish Checking than say a solid body as the cavity can hold the cold longer than say a Solid body????

I would think he'd only have to worry about checking if it was outside in the cold for a few hours.
