Sale weatherman: Get ready for ‘worst winter in 200 years’


Harry says it's going to be COLD AND DEEP and Harry has the unfortunate habit of being right

Well, ever the optimist  ....   .....  that prediction was published on the 16th December  .....   I know it can have a sting in the tail but my fingers are  for you.   A near neighbor,   a French Harry perhaps  tells me that our winter is over  !! the moles are coming to the surface       lots of    but coolish  here.

Harry sounds more like a plain old pessimist to me.

When I read the title I thought, don't be dirty this is a family show.
Anyway, whilst this forecast may turn out correct or not, Bill Froggat has been very quiet about it for a number of years.
Thank you Adrian, the thermals are going through the washer right now. We will see how it all turns out.

that prediction was published on the 16th December  .....   

oops he may have got lots of other stuff right, but he got that bit wrong.   Guess we shall have to wait and see.
Mind you he also mentions in there the very high winds off Blackpool just before xmas...  so maybe he meant this

It'll be interesting to see what happens ..... the predictions are not for that week in December, it is for the whole winter. Going on past evidence all the pressure/fronts/temperatures etc in certain locations . He is saying it all adds up to the possibility of a long hard winter.

Well the moles won't be coming up today !!      our green/brown grass was frosted over this morning   ...the birds were skating instead of bathing      .....  as I said - sting in the tail ?     the chateaux will be pleased    .....I was speaking to a couple of  'châtemains' the other day and they were saying we could do with some real cold weather  .....   and now we have

I've had the deck chair out.  Well I thought about it.
Did the repairs from the wind damage instead. Managed 10 mins in the conservatory though.

Lots of them here too.  Our lounge bay window faces South and, with the heating turned off, the temperature in there hit 26 C today.  What winter?

That's Johannesburg of course.   Here in Blighty, we're lucky to see 26 F in January.   More Global Warming, please.

No, 26C in our lounge in North Yorkshire!  Not outside, obviously.
