I'm happy with what we've had so far - the best cold spells often
begin slowly before the "real" event arrives. I remember in 1991 most
of January was cold, grey and damp - with maxes never more than 5C -
when I was at college in the Midlands.
By the end of the first week of February I had returned to London in
time for the deepest snowfall event in the South East that I can
remember. That winter was followed by a fairly early, warm spring -
something one or two people have hinted will happen this year...

Here's a youtube link to a classic forecast from that year - the great
Ian McCaskill...

Thanks for that link. Even down in Cornwall the mins. were forecast to
be -7C!
I also noticed how Ian talked about several *inches* of snow rather than the
several *centimetres* we hear nowadays.

Wow, just look at those day maxes, similar to the *mins* we are
experiencing at the moment.
Brings the current cold spell into perspective.

Thanks for that Col, what memories! Of course that was just an average

Hey Graham

That's an uncharacteristic rant from the far SW.

You haven't been on the brandy and lovage, have you!???? ;-)

Best regards from the cool SE

(-4 and dropping!)

Cheers

Neil

I think cold lovers should be put down as mentally insane.
Fortunately, if they freeze their bo**ocks off we'll all be in luck,
and future will be a brighter place. (Just joking - I think?) Other
people who should be put down include Esther Rantzen, Cliff Richard
(twice at least) Noel Edmonds, Rolph Harris (for destroying forever my
memoeries of 'Stairway to Heaven') . . .

Those graphics are so much better than what we have now, especially the
temperature contours.

Not meant to be taken seriously - No offence intended - All in the

You can't go wrong with feeling subtle changes. And a cup of cocoa
afterwards, if someone lets you in.

I'm happy enough with it now to be honest - fabulous winter's day here,
blue skies, frost on the ground - what more could a man want?


Quite agree. And I'm going to try to get my Quad bike out over my fields
tomorrow. Normally they are completely impassable in the winter as the land
is very wet, but with the combination of no rain and frosty ground I might
just make it.

I some of you are just giving 'tongue in cheek' comments, but this is
not what it's all about and it doing nothing but harm to all of us.
