To my mind a cold snowy decade in the 60s followed a high hurricane
frequency
decade the 50s, at some stage the hurricane frequency this century will
decrease
and then what will happen to the winters ? Colder perhaps ?


Yes, bit which, if either is the cause?

You could say the the colder weather in the 60's led to less hurricanes.

I read an interesting article once which showed statistical significant
links between things which couldn't possible be connected.

I've noticed that my purchase of warm clothing is frequently followed by
several months rather cool weather. It happens every year. Maybe I should
start buying shorts in October, and then the winter'll be warm!

There is a danger in basing too much on what's happened before. The 50's did
see plenty of hurricanes, but in many other ways they were different to the
last 10 years. E.g north Atlantic SSTs were certainly generally lower, there
was more arctic ice, and the Labour party was left wing.

Anyway, Spring's arrived. They've started picking Sols (narcissi) on Scilly.
