Perhaps if you look to see how often that happens at your location ...
14 consecutive days of gloom and drizzle ... even that might be a record
(and therefore interesting for that reason). We had 15 days of constant
haar last July/August ... that was a pain ... but no less interesting
for that.


I think you would expect at least 1 ground frost in February.

I might if it had not been such a warm winter thus far ... as it is, I
am not sure if I expect one.


Depends on the records broken, warmest on record Spring or Summer I
would consider exciting.

I consider all records exciting, that is why people try so hard to break
them. I think the principle applies equally to the weather, regardless
of if it is doing something I personally like, or dislike.


I seem to recall that no-one here believed a word of it though.

Really??

Indeed ... there were so many posts slagging off certain organisations
that had suggested it would be freezing cold with tonnes of snow that I
gave up reading them. I believe the 'smart money' was on a 'mild'
winter and thus it has been (here anyway).
