Slightly relevant to this thread as winter ranked CETs are in question.
There's a quirk in the HAD CET which results in years from March to Nov having a zero at rank 1; meaning the coldest of each of these months is ranked at no. 2; as is the current coldest overall year (1740).
Now I've no doubt there's a reason for this but the way it's presented is very misleading.
The winter months have their zero value plugged in at the appropriate ranking position for a zero \C month. Again, I see the systematic approach to whatever led to this misleading data; but remember HAD CET is available fully in the public domain.
