Having now read the Telegraph article, yeah it smacks of fear/doom
mongering

Way OTT headline. I was looking for the reasons behind this, and the
only hint the telegraph article drops is:

"Considering we have had a run of fairly mild winters......."

Is that it?
I was told about the Sunday Telegraph report by a normally intelligent
friend. The Office was forecasting heavy snow throughout December!

I did not realise that the Office were daft enough to issue a forecast
for the winter this far ahead. On what do they base this prediction?
It seems so unlikely after so many mild winters.

We have in fact had a run of 'Mild' winters. With some very mild
spells.

Would someone like Will Hand be good enough to give me an explanation
why such a wild forecast has been issued so early?

What is the mechanism where the Office can be so mis-represented. Unless
of course they were serious which I doubt.

Cheers

Paul
