Events such as 1963 remind people that they are alive, bring communities
together and provide difficulties that allow us to learn and progress.

Interest in extremes is fundemental to any weather enthusiast but it has got
jack all to do with taking any pleasure in human costs - I would imagine
most on this ng are very interested in Tornadoes but berating them for the
deaths caused by Tornadoes misses the point completely.

Hoping for a mild winter to make your life easy is far more miserable than
anything that the weather will throw at us this winter.

Now go and get that present for Tiny Tim...

I don't care much for trolls and generally find this newsgroup very
interesting and informative. Apologies in advance for this troll like
posting, or at least some of you will regard it as a troll episode, though
it's not.

But..............for all you kids and overgrown schoolboys....."it is
going to snow -no it's not"............" ya boo, yes it is - no it's
not....... boo hoo".

Sadly I'm old enough to remember winter '63; you know the one that sends
snow lovers to the bathroom urgently? Winter '63 was shyte end of story;
complete and utter shyte.

Especially for all you snow, pocket billiards kids (regardless of age) I
sincerely, and fervently, hope winter 2004/5 is the mildest ever on
record.

Cheers



Bill
