Will my cold winter statistics come up trumps, time will tell ;-) If I
was a gambling man my gut feeling would be, regardless of GW, El Niño
and SST anomalies, we will see some winter action in 2006/2007. You
heard it first from me :-)

Keith,

Sorry to put a spoke in the wheel but 1947, 1963 and 1979 were bitterly
cold winters everyone thought here we go (every 16 years) 1995 will be
the next bitterly cold winter but what a let down, mild Dec, average Jan
and very mild Feb and just to make matters worse November 1994 was the
warmest November on record, at least here!!
The weather is unpredictable and always has the last laugh

Getting very windy here now!
