Love to read you snowballers grasping at straws for cold weather, the
cold is grim so far as I'm concerned and fingers crossed we'll have yet
another westerly few months. You guys are so wrapped up in your
obsession with cold weather that you consider it rational, same as you
hate warm summer weather and expect us all to agree with you. Hint we
all don't! My wish is that after yet another mild winter we have a
heat wave summer hmmmmmm heaven.

In what way is an "obsession" with very cold winter weather different
from your "obsession" with heat waves in the Summer? Both are
uncomfortable if not dangerous for many people, especially the
elderly. But as we can't alter the weather, why not simply enjoy what
we like when it happens, whether it be hot or cold? Complaining about
people liking and wanting things over which they have no control seems
to be a bit pointless.

On a serious note I reckon you've got at the most two weeks left to see
your dream realized, if things don't settle down to harsh cold in that
period, they never will. The most you can hope for afterwards is a few
cold days. Yippppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I think "a few cold days" is all that most people are expecting...
that's what Winters are like nowadays.
