You woudn't know my little cherub. He was a legend in the north of
England for many years. He was especialled loved for his winter
forecasts and original approach. Sadly he leaves no heirs I believe,

Looking back to 1960. when I used to await his forecasts with baited
breath, I cannot imagine a more stalwart climatologist.

There's an obituary of him in today's Daily Telegraph.
