Whilst discussing the lovely weather at the golf course this morning
somebody said they heard on the radio that it was going to be a bitterly cold winter with lots of snow. They said they heard it on the radio but didn't know the source. Doesn't appear to be Corbyn generated as far as I can see. Told them there was no way anyone could predict that to which they muttered something about the Gulf Stream ;-( Perhaps someone is relating to the prevalence of Scandinavian Highs. One swallow doesn't make a winter. Dave |

Joe My first question to Dave was did this conversation come up in the 19th Hole ;-) Oh, I just love these reports in the Daily Express, they missed the first bit "Once upon a time". Of course it would be Sods Law if this winter turned out severe, with rising fuel costs together with the likelyhood of our infrastructure not being able to cope with the demand. Note: Just because we have Scani High now means absolutely nothing to what the pressure patterns will be in the winter, I've been down this road many many times. We normally hit December and the SW winds come in for the next three months. Happy days. Keith (Southend) Using Google as Demon news has not produced any posts for two days now! |

I'd offer 5/2 a colder than average winter, 1/3 a warmer than average winter. Measured against the Manley winter mean, of course! Paul |

"Positive Weather Solutions" are quoted as the source but I have just read
their forecast on their web site and it does not look so bad. (see http://www.positiveweathersolutions....Long-Range.php) It may be either a mis-quote or them trying to get attention.

One swallow doesn't make a winter. Dave What a coinicidence - the following extract of an article in today's Times by Mark Henderson concerning HIV reminded me so much of the weather scares that appear in the Express from time to time: "Peer review, by which new research papers are independently refereed before they are accepted by journals, is often thought to be the main bulwark against scientific error. Yet while this is important, what matters more is publication itself. By placing the methods and results of their studies in the public domain, scientists expose their work to the criticism of the entire research community. Others can examine their data, and repeat their experiments. Scientists positively invite such scrutiny, so that mistakes or misinterpretations will eventually come to light: they do not want to be wrong. Contrast this with the approach taken by Dr Rath, and many others whose bold claims are poorly backed by evidence. Their response to criticism is often not to correct mistakes and rethink bad ideas, but to get litigious. Far from encouraging others to evaluate their work, they seek to silence those who do not agree with them. Dr Rath is not the only exponent of this strategy. Goldacre recounts numerous occasions on which analyses of dubious medical claims have been met with legal threats from other nutritionists and alternative medical therapists. This is the very opposite of what science should be about. Scientists who follow the proper methods face intense criticism all the time, yet they hardly ever respond by issuing writs. They listen, they look again, and where necessary, they revise their conclusions. The laboratory is no place for libel lawyers, and there is good reason to be sceptical of those who invite them in."
