It's been freezing here today! Low twenties, and the same is predicted
for tomorrow. But no snow round here either; I am talking celsius. Last
week they were saying it'd be about 30 tomorrow, and it was yesterday,
but we had a change come in this morning.

   (Disclaimer: may not be correct---I'd only trust 'aon'. Is
anachronistic.)

(Incidentally, I don't know French, but I have noticed a bit that
adjectives sometimes come before the noun, and sometimes after. Are
there rules for when, or are adjective-before just fixed phrases or
something?)
