I'm not writing off the winter, but i don't pretend that i'll know what
it'll be doing for the next four months !!

Are things boring at the moment or what?

Folks on TWO have resorted to posts like "don't forget The Day After
Tomorrow is being shown tonight" !!

Yeah right, based on a book "The Coming Global Superstorm" by Art Bell
& Whitley Streiber (remember him? His book about being abducted by
aliens many years ago)
These fellas are not about light entertainment, they are serious.
If you've heard them on the radio, you will know they 100 percent
believe in what they say
Every storm, hurricane and tornado that occurs is used as a reason for
these people to get back on the airwaves and proclaim "look see, it's
really happening"

Here's a review on another book written by Art Bell

From some of the doom-mongering i've been reading in the press, you
would think a real life Day After Tomorrow will start from Dec 1st !!

We had this BS last year as well. What ended up happening?
Brain and Andrew publicly apologising in March of this year, for the
forecasts they gave

The Met Office may have to face up to the same...by the time March 2006
rolls around

The current weather situation seems pretty interesting to me. People
will insist on ignoring the present, and wanting to post about the
winter to come. The winter we will never forget for a long time
apparantly.

Which poses another interesting question
Does the grass look greener the further into the future we peer?

Green grass is what i think a lot of us will be looking at in the
months ahead
