Not the first; I wrote it off here about a couple of months ago. ;-)

Mind you, that was based on the SST anomaly at the time and I warned that
there was plenty of time for it to change. A week ago I'd probably have
stuck to a mild, westerly type of winter but the latest SST picture has
an interesting development of a cold pool at 40N 40W. If this were to
grow, the odds against a cold winter could tumble.


The cold pool seem to be getting colder looking at the latest maps. :-)

Calm down now Keith, it's not good to get too excited at your age :-)
