Default WARNING: coldest night of the year so far tonight!

Guys,

I posted a similar comment about the hottest/coldest/etc on an earlier
New Year's Day (2004 perhaps?)

It's obviously a very well known joke as my 13 year daughter sprung it
on me today.

I'm reminded of 3 January 1990, when one of the Canberra TV stations
breathlessly announced that that day's maximum of 39.7 C was 'the
hottest day this decade'.

Mind you, it wasn't until 1998 that it was surpassed....
