Default Prospects for spring and the rest of the year?

One thing that could be a factor is sea temperatures. The North Sea,
Irish Sea and Channel must be colder than usual, and will take some time
to warm up. That could make a cold spring more likely.


I'm reminded of Gordon Manley's words at the end of February 1963:

"and it looks like nearly seven chances out of eight
that March will be appreciably colder than normal."
