When are we going to get the extreme cold weather as forecast from the
media in November? Or was it my imagination?


According to the Daily Express, we were supposed to be experiencing an icy
cold blast, sweeping across from Moscow, by Thursday gone. We would all
have our central heating full on and the power stations would be
struggling to cope. Energy bills would be soaring and it would be the end
of the world as we know it.

Now, I know it's a bit nippy outside at the moment, but it's rain, not
snow and it's January, not June... what do you expect?



Everton Fox this morning has said it's going to be "very cold", "bitterly
cold", "raw", with temperatures of 5 degrees. That used to be the normal
maximum for January when I was young, and it's still only a couple of
degrees below normal.


What !!!!!?????

I'd like to bring Everton on a walk with me this morning to Hay Tor summit.
-3 deg C and force 5-6 with blowing snow.
THAT'S bitterly cold.

Will.
