I have no idea whatsoever!
I'm posting these occasional snippets more out of curiosity than expectation. Just see how they work out.
These tables have been going for just over a year (I think) now on TWO. One thing I did notice in the run-up to last winter was that they never once suggested a cold winter, for what that is worth. In fact there was always a good majority of mild winters at the head of the table. So the table worked out from that point of view. Proves nothing though, as UK winters generally are mild anyway.
So far this autumn the general pattern is that years having one or two decently wintry months have generally always figured at the top of the table. The occasional spectacular one too, but generally plenty of months around the 2C CET mark.
So, we'll see.
2 miles west of Taunton, 32 m asl, where "milder air moving in from the west" becomes SNOWMAGEDDON.
Well, two or three times a decade it does, anyway.
