Strange as it may seem, only 5 winters have been colder than this one
by the looks of it in Coventry, even though the average looks like
being 1.1C above the 30-year climatological normal for 1971-2000.

I should have said, only 5 winters in the past 21 years have been
colder!

Not, ever!!!

Blimey Steve are you sure?

I just had a look at my records and I've had at least 30 Winters colder
than this one just since 1971!!!

I've had at least 15 colder in the last 21 years!

There have only been 5 WARMER since 1988

2007, 1998, 1995, 1990 & 1989 and 1995 is only by 0.1c so 2008 could
still end up warmer than that!
