Sorry, Gavin, but this sort of post in early January really annoys me.
No-one can forecast confidently beyond about a week ahead. You can make
an informed guess for the second week that is more likely to be right
than wrong, but beyond that nobody knows.
Fair enough. I was asked today by some colleagues at work about
whether we , in Dorset, might yet get some snow. I peered in to the
coffee cup, looked for inspiration out of the window, and simply said
'Remember about February 6th 1996? That gave us all two days extra
holiday and the place closed!' All those around showed great approval
of this- snow and some time off - so the mid morning break was better
than normal! At lunch two lady colleagues said they were 'freezing',
yet at the time it was close to 7.8C
So,really, we have a long way to go. By mid February I might juststart
to think we are through winter....
