It is interesting that 1998 is getting mentioned. That was the hottest
year ever recorded. I wonder if this year will seize that record.

But it was a lousy summer, at least up here.

That's the problem though isn't it - a hot year means mild winter weather
like this coupled with high winds and heavy rain sweeping across the
country.

Give us an anticyclone for a bit!
