I have been a lurker here for a couple of years and I am truly
astonished about some of the participants obsession with cold spells.

.... not long enough obviously ;-) Because one thing we can predict in
this newsgroup at this time of year is ...

(a) the threads discussing the prospect of cold/snowy weather multiply
alarmingly as Christmas approaches and
(b) there is always a counter-thread along the lines that you have just
posted.

As long as these constants are in place, we can all relax!
