Looking at my data for this really pathetic, boring Winter I only need a

It has been a lovely, and interesting, winter here.
Current February mean is 6,3 but then this is the frozen north (-:
I am already on 5.4c for this February and the mild weather hasn't
really kicked in yet, however I'm still waiting for my first ground
frost this month.
But are you expecting one?
Looking at the charts as the dreaded azores high takes over next week
this February should easily manage a mean of 5.9c if not higher, after
all we had 6.0c in 1990 and 6.5c in 1998
Sounds promising. Getting a 'warmest on record' could not be considered
boring ... breaking records is usually exciting.
It's quite laughable when you look back at all the cold weather
predictions made in the Autumn!
I seem to recall that no-one here believed a word of it though.
I'm not going to say roll on Winter 2006 as there is no point!
Nope. Best to enjoy the other three seasons first.
