The head. Q.E.D. Well yes, that was kind of my point. A statement of the bleedin' obvious! Col -- Bolton, Lancashire. 160m asl. |

My 'gut' feeling is a winter comparable to 1969 / 1970 which had some quite severe spells interspersed with milder intelludes. What is different this year, compared to the last couple, is I have not yet seen extreme cold temperatures in northern Scandinavia. Yes, I noticed that this year. I oftyen monitor the weather in Kiruna, Sweden, where I once lived, and notice that they have had no snow yet and that last night was the first with a temperature below -5C. Might get some snow this weekend though. That 528 line is getting closer all the time. Martin Maybe these are going to arrive later in the winter and then the winds turn in our direction? Previously, the 'milder' air has returned to these regions when we look like getting a NE wind. Just an observation. But things to appear to be different this autumn.

Felly sgrifennodd Malcolm : No, it won't be the same story as surely the probability of it happening will have increased! Maybe that was tongue-in-cheek, but just in case it wasn't, statistically that argument is wrong. Of course, the press won't understand that. Say I toss a coin 10 times, and each time it comes up tails. The chance of it being heads next time is still 1 in 2. Adrian Interesting, though the probability of turning up 10 tails(mild winters say) in a row is 1024 to 1 so a 65% chance of a cold winter makes for a pretty easy statement. Alan |

Well, 1023:1, but yes to the average tabloid journalist it is easy to say. Adrian -- Adrian Shaw ais@ Adran Cyfrifiadureg, Prifysgol Cymru, aber.
