I see from next weeks progs that low pressure systems will be slowly eroding
the European High just like they did in 1978 ( a similar long benign
autumn).
As some of us will remember that heralded a remarkably snowy and eventful
winter,deep joy and fundimolds to many of our readers...
The big difference between that year and this however is the lack of very
cold air over the Arctic

Certainly a lack of cold air over the Arctic - but surely it is only a
matter of time before temperatures there start dropping like a stone?
So perhaps a 'delayed' winter that is similar to 78/79?

Or the coldest winter since 1962/3 starting in December, taking little
account of any of the above...........or not. *))

Not sure about the lack of cold air over the Arctic Ron. The
temperatures are easily running lower than at any Autumn for the last
ten years and probably more at 80 degrees N

I don't see how you can be that certain. I'd have thought that even if
November and December turn out to be predominantly mild, it's still odds
on that you will see at least a flake or two of snow at some point
before Christmas.
