Default A White Christmas?

The silly season has already started with Accuweather's finest
believing he can successfully predict our winter weather and going for
all 3 months having below average temperatures, but here's Positive
Weather Solutions (positive solutions?? Whay; you get the weather you
want if you pay them for a forecast??) saying that they have the
capability to say exactly when it will snow during the winter.
Surprisingly they are forecasting snow on Christmas Day and not the
11th of January. I wonder why and I'll bet it's not because they don't
think it will snow on 11th Jan. You pay them for a forecast and I'm
sure they'll provide you with a probability forecast!

Weather Consultancy Services, on the other hand, are going for 2 cold
months in December and February, by the looks of it.

I refrained from posting page 3.*))

Well page 3 would be an improvement on your usual postings. Come to think of
it a long range forecast of a severe winter weather on page three that
doesn't happen; then you could really say its gone tits up.

Putting being serious to one side though: lets not be too harsh on that
innate survival instinct that throbs within our very genetic being at this
time of year. What will winter throw at us and can we survive that cruel
force of nature. Well we can nowadays thanks to capitalism and fossil fuels,
winter is now a cinch; that's why we want it to do its worse and test out
all our lovely modern gear, double glazing, loft and cavity wall insulation.
How about the four wheel-drive and generators plus those lovely useless
solar torches for power cuts..

Nope we all get excited this time every year, take today in the SE England
overcast , gloomy, dank and dismal just the winter appetizer one needs in
early autumn. All we need now is a touch of frost and some fog and we'll be
well away.
