Beast from the East? Who needs silly names for normal weather behaviour. Its
only cold due to the air coming from a cold place and pressure being quite
high.

The box that surrounds my gas meter has got half full of water, which
has now frozen solid around the supply pipe and on/off handle (quite why
the box doesn't have a drain hole in it, I have no idea)

Consequently, I now have no gas supply into the flat.

But that can't have frozen the gas, can it? The ground may be covered
in snow, but it's only 1 or 2 degrees below zero out there.

(Gas board contacted, will be here within the hour - impressive if they
are)

I don't think even the Beast from the East will achieve that :-)
