Just been informed, the Mirror has got a piece about the severe winter
to come in today's edition

I was expecting this during October.

It's a huge risk with implications putting out this kind of stuff, i
dunno if the media have 'over-sensationalised' like they did last year,
but the people i've spoken to today after reading the articles, told me
they didn't believe it. They thought it was fear mongering

It doesn't matter where the info comes from. Cry Wolf too many times,
and people will not believe it

I got my first question about this from somebody at work yesterday.
After cackling insanely I explained that such a forecast just wasn't
possible. All you can do is suggest general circulation patterns
which *might* suggest at a colder or milder winter.

It seems that it's hard enough getting the next seven days forecasting
accurate, so i dunno about anyone else, i'm not dedicating too much
time getting angry or thinking about what anyone says what the weather
will be doing in many many weeks time.

Quite. They couldn't even get last weekend's forecast right here!
