I guess that's what you'd expect if the ice edge is further north than
it used to be, and if the sea to the south of it is a degree or two
warmer. At least in the south, easterlies have always tended to be
colder than northerlies, and that may be more than ever the case now. Of
course, full-blown easterlues have been in very short supply in recent
years.

But take heart. In today's Sunday Telegraph, Philip Eden concludes his
piece by saying that he can see no reason why we shouldn't have a snowy
winter again one of these days.
